A POSTCARD FROM Swap <strong>20</strong>17 fashion for the regency of Charles Dickens’ Birthplace Museum or enjoy an organised literary walk around the city. Discover the home of Rudyard Kipling, the workplace of HG Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle’s home where super sleuth Sherlock’s literary life began, Nevil Shute and many more writers of classic page turners who had chapters of their own lives in the historic city. High teas and high thrills - if you have a head for heights! The Emirates Spinnaker Tower was built as part of the centre piece in the Renaissance of Portsmouth Harbour Project. Standing tall at 110 metres high, it’s an architectural and engineering masterpiece which offers dramatic views over the harbour, Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth Historic Dockland and the surrounding towns and suburbs. A high speed lift whizzes visitors to the View Decks in just 30 seconds. If you prefer to take the stairs, there’s 570 up to View Deck 3. Adrenaline junkies can take part in organised abseiling events but if you prefer something more sedate, enjoy afternoon tea or opt for the Sparkles and Tower experience where fizz flows at 105 meters above the harbour! Meet the animals, explore the gardens and enjoy the ancient woodlands at Staunton Country Park. Llamas, alpacas and donkeys, pigs, sheep and Shetland ponies will keep the children entertained, especially if you’ve bought some animal feed from the farm shop! For a journey of discovery, follow the water trail around the park to see how water makes it ways from the lakes to our taps. Photo © Basher Eyre (cc-by-sa/2.0) 22
A POSTCARD FROM Staying with water, South Coast H2O is an adventure playground for wakeboarders, wakeskaters and kitesurfers, from beginners to pros and everyone over the age of eight who’s ready to rip up the water! With a System 2.0 in place, riders can hit obstacles in quick succession and perfect their style. Beginners will welcome the forgiving system which stops if a rider falls and the tow handle is brought back, making it easy to start again from where you fell! Whether on land or water, Portsmouth is packed with plenty to do!
