Day Before Embarktion from Southerhampton

[OarToOar]

We're planning on heading down the morning of the day before we set sail, and staying in either Southampton itself or Portsmouth just round the coast. There are obvious highlight we're seen mentioned as Tourists attractions.

Tudor House & Titanic memorial in Southamption

Dockyards & HMS victory in Portsmouth.

 

I was wondering if anyone can advice of any lesser know but enjoyable excursions or diversions, from a few minutes to all day stuff.

 

We're not restricted with mobility and have a fairly wide range of tastes, so castles to steam trains, theatres to adventure golf and beyond are all open for possibility.

Check out the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton, there are shows on most nights, including westend / broadway style musicals.

 

For the day time, Salisbury and Stonehenge are not too far away or Winchester. I would recommend taking the ferry over to Hythe, the fare includes the train along the pier or you can walk.

There are some very helpful suggestions of places to stay in another thread, if you have not yet decided that. See
