Aboard Silver Endeavour with Silversea
Cruise Overview
Portsmouth is one of the most densely populated cities in Southern England, and is unusual as most of its built-up area occupies Portsea Island, linked to the mainland by road and rail bridges.
Although there is a Roman fort at nearby Portchester, occupied later by the Saxons and Normans, there was no settlement on the site of Portsmouth at the time of the 1086 Domesday Book.
The town developed in medieval times and received its first charter in 1194 from King Richard I; soon afterwards it became a major naval base.
It has the world’s oldest dry dock, and is home to several famous ships, including HMS Victory, HMS Warrior and the Mary Rose, raised from the Solent in 1982.
Portsmouth remains an important naval base and is home to a large proportion of the British service fleet.
The waterfront area is now dominated by the Spinnaker Tower, 560 feet high, the United Kingdom’s tallest building outside London.
Other things to see in the city include the house where Charles Dickens was born, and the City Museum, which contains a permanent exhibition devoted to another famous writer, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who lived in the town.
Cobblestone streets, blooming floral displays, and tiny churches welcome you to this wonderfully pretty harbour.
The town of St Peter Port is as pretty as they come, with glowing flower displays painting practically every street corner and window-ledge with colour.
As the capital, and main port of Guernsey, St Peter Port puts all of the island’s gorgeous beaches, wonderful history and inspiring stories at your fingertips.
Feel the gut punch of the midday gun firing at Castle Cornet, which stands guard over one of the world's prettiest ports.
This 800-year-old, Medieval castle offers staggering views of the harbour from its imposing, craggy island location, and you can look out across to the looming shorelines of the other Channel Islands from its weathered battlements.
With four well-tended gardens, and five museums offering a rich overview of Guernsey's history, you’ll want to leave a few hours aside to explore the many treasures that lie within the castle’s walls.
For many visitors Tresco is the most attractive of the Isles of Scilly.
This is especially due to its Abbey Garden, which is home to thousands of exotic plant species from around 80 different countries.
Plant collector Augustus Smith began the gardens in the 1830s on the site of an old Benedictine Abbey by channelling the weather up and over a network of walled enclosures built around the Priory ruins.
He had three terraces carved from the rocky south slope and maximised Tresco’s mild Gulf Stream climate.
Even in mid-winter there still are hundreds of plants flowering here.
Another surprising attraction at the Abbey Garden is the collection of figureheads from ships that wrecked among the Isles of Scilly.
