Portsmouth Historic Dockyard

Visitor Centre, Victory Gate, HM Naval Base, Portsmouth, PO1 3LJ, Hampshire, England

Be a part of the history at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. You will take an unbelievably ‘real’ journey through time and come face to face with fascinating artefacts and historic ships that helped shape British history.

Discover more about Admiral Lord Nelson, Henry VIII, World War Veterans and Portsmouth Dockyard workers. Learn about life on board three of the world’s most famous warships ever built, HMS Victory, HMS Warrior 1860 and the Mary Rose. See, touch and smell the history of the Royal Navy at the Royal Naval Museum, one of the UK’s leading maritime museums and complete the story by testing your own skill, bravery and brain power on the action-packed high seas adventure that is Action Stations.

Take a 45 minute tour around Portsmouth Harbour aboard one of the modern and comfortable boats and see the ships of the modern Royal Navy fleet in port.
