Why Join our Walks?
Whether your interest is the historical sites of Old Portsmouth, the social, military or global significance of our mighty naval port and the Solent area, or understanding the culture of Portsmouth from its early beginnings to become rich in the spice of life, join a Solent Original Walk to experience the area and find out more.
Each of the Walks covers an area of Portsmouth that is rich in history, and will fire your imagination as you visualise how some areas once looked, with a mix of original buildings and architectural features that have survived the worst of the attacks over the centuries on our strategically important port location.
Our leisurely Walks are Wheelchair, Children & Dog Friendly!
