A little history
Gosport faces Portsmouth across the harbour and has been inextricably linked with the Royal Navy for centuries. Fort Brockhurst is one of Palmerston's Forts. The Royal Navy Submarine Museum houses HMS Alliance — the only preserved Cold War submarine in Britain — and tells the extraordinary story of submarine warfare.
The Royal Navy Submarine Museum is genuinely outstanding — going inside HMS Alliance is an extraordinary experience. Fort Brockhurst for the Victorian engineering. The Gosport Ferry for the Portsmouth Harbour crossing. The High Street market.
