Some very interesting history inside, and of course free admission! There is a cafe on site and is suitable for families too.

Southsea seafront has many places to visit and this is no exemption, with a cafe it makes a great stopping point. Portsmouth is steeped in history, so make sure you make a visit to this very historic Castle, right on the seafront!

Just the place to lose the kids for a cou0le of hours while you enjoy the cafe or have a picnic. No entry charge and free parking are a plus.

Great catering, efficiently run, smart, stylish with a selection of small rooms for music, eating, chatting etc all in an interesting and atmospheric courtyard setting, a smashing venue that was even older than the birthday girl ....(that means you, Helen)
