Winter Walk 1 - Old Portsmouth Circular

An opportunity to take a stroll around scenic Old Portsmouth and recognise landmarks we routinely motor past in our boats.

Meeting at the bus station at The Hard Bus depot PO1 3DT, we then walk through Gunwharf, around the waterfront, then around to Old Portsmouth via Spice Quay and along the seafront as far as Clarence Pier, circling back to Gunwharf past the Cathedral and through Old Portsmouth to Gunwharf where we will stop for coffee or something stronger as you wish, and perhaps lunch.

This is an easy, flat walk of approximately 5 miles.  You don’t need to do the whole walk, but let the Walk Leaders know before you break away.  Please monitor the weather, we will only cancel if the forecast is appalling on the day.  Otherwise, we are all sailors: “We don’t melt!!”
