I am primarily going to see the Mary Rose but will have time to see a number of the main attractions. I wondered what else there might be a bit more off the beaten track? Also are there any wargames clubs in Portsmouth? I might be able to get a pass for an evening's entertainment |

Is there still that shop in South Sea? I remember it on TV years ago. |

There are some great Victorian pubs in the older parts of town. We spent two days there a few summers ago and they were really good places to cool down after doing the other sights. The Naval memorial on the sea front is also worth a visit, not far from the D-Day museum. |

If you visit Fort Nelson on Portsdown Hill there is a small parking area that gives a fantastic view of Portsmouth harbour, so worth bringing some decent binoculars. Just make sure it's not a windy day… |

Southsea Models, on Albert Road, is well worth a visit. |

Haven't been to Southsea models in years my over ridding memories were a slightly odd owner, a lot of dust and a treasure trove of old, odd and unusual stuff…good fun There was a nice new age coffee shop across the road as well. |
