Fantastic place to spend the day! Must see's are Nelson's famous HMS Victory and the wonderful building housing the Tudor ship, the Mary Rose ! Excellent! ????????????

I spent a full day exploring the dockyard when on vacation. I came down from London for the day and it was a great experience. They do a great job preserving the proud tradition of the Royal Navy

This place is a bargain! £21 online booking for a whole year and is for all attractions ! Great displays for all the family. Harbour boat tours also from site. Great bargain.

My favourite ship on the site. Her and her sister ship HMS Black Prince were the first iron hulled, armour plated warships ever built. Lucky for us, she never saw combat and can be enjoyed today. - Dalton Boatman
