Portsmouth Harbour Defences

This route begins at the Gosport ferry Terminal and follows the route of the Portsmouth Harbour Defences and finishes at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.

Portsmouth Harbour is defended from all 4 directions by castles, forts and military lines as it has been a strategically important port for thousands of years (the Romans had a major military base in Portchester). This largely circular loop follows these defences. Not all fortifications still exist or are accessible to the public.
