More than a week ago, following my trip to the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth, I promised to post photos of the marina at Port Solent, at the northern end of Portsmouth Harbour.

Well, I forgot - but, following a reminder from one of my friends, here they are:

As you can see, it was a beautiful day, but the whole complex was deserted. There were very few boat movements.

There are several places to eat, with prices from £4.50 for a two-course meal. However, you get what you pay for and it is better to pay a little more.

The last photo is of Porchester Castle:

"Surrounded by the most complete Roman walls in Northern Europe, the vast keep gives breathtaking birds-eye views over Portsmouth, the harbour and the Solent. See the magnificent 14th century palace of King Richard II and the 12 century Norman church."
