Each time we visit Portsmouth Historic Dockyard we discover something that we’ve not visited before, and so it was on our visit last Saturday.
I wrote about our harbour boat trip, but not about the rest of our visit to the dockyard. We don’t remember having previously visited Boathouse No.4. While visitors can only view the boat repairs from above, there are soem fascinating exhibits to see. It wasn’t our plan for an early lunch, but the need for a cup of tea enticed to the excellent restaurant in the Boathouse.
It’s free to enter the dockyard, though the Mary Rose, Victory and HMS M.33 need tickets to visit. We’ll need to return to visit HMS M.33 which we’ve not yet visited. Here are a few of the photos of our brief visit – much time was taken queing for the harbour tour boat, and the boat tour itself. We recommend a weekday harbour tour.
