Porchester Castle and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard


Last Last Sunday (15 March) we went down to these two places. Porchester Castle is another ruined castle, this one dating back to Roman times. It was modified by different groups, the Saxons, the Normans and so on. From the top, there is a nice view over the Solent. We had a picnic in the large grassed area just outside the castle walls.





After lunch, we went on to Portsmouth to see the Historic dockyard. Although there was too much to see in one afternoon, we did have a look around the HMS Warrior and the Victory.
