Advantages: lovely place to visit

Disadvantages: n/a

Portsmouth has been a place I have visited since a child.

My family lived there and I had many a holiday spent there,all of my memories of portsmouth are happy ones and my son now supports portsmouth football team as he too loves the place with a passion.

Portsmouth has a stunning pebbled beach and beautiful clear water.The isle of wight is a short trip away.There are many hotel on the sea front and loads of history linked to portsmouth.It has a lovely castle which has a tunnel that leads out to the sea and was used to help escape from the castle when it was attacked.
There is a sea life centre which also sits on the sea front and is a great tourist attraction.

There is a naval base where my cousin worked at and you could go and visit all the ships in the harbour, one of my favourites is the victory which you can also go on board and have a tour round with a talk about each part of the ship and where nelson allegedly died.

Its a great sight to see, the naval ships come in for repairs and look enormous when you stand next to them.

In old south sea you can even visit the house where nelson lived.

There are three very good shopping centres in portsmouth with a wide variety of shops for all to choose from.

Portsmouth for me holds a very special place in my heart and hopefully one day I will return and show my grandchildren all the special places I went to as a child myself.

Summary: brilliant childhood spent there for me
