Southsea

Southsea Castle, which was built by Henry VIII in the middle of the 16th century, contains a number of exhibits connected with the history of the town and military history from Tudor times through to the Victorian era. From the castle walls there is a view across the Solent to the Victorian Spitbank Fort.

The Natural History Museum is housed in Cumberland House. Exhibitions include a section devoted to the flora and fauna of the sea and of marshland areas, as well as a butterfly house with over 100 different species.

Old and young alike can enjoy themselves at the futuristic bathing center known as "The Pyramids", with its fun pools, two large water slides and fitness zones.
