Portsmouth
I’ve reserved two nights in Arundel and I’m eager to plan a day trip!
While I haven’t done an extensive search yet, Portsmouth seems like an exciting choice. I’m a big fan of anything maritime, especially with attractions like HMS Victory and the Mary Rose—how amazing is that?
Is Portsmouth a walkable city overall?
Also, if you have any restaurant suggestions, I’m open to all kinds of dining experiences!
Thanks in advance!
