Stimulating view of the coastal region around Portsmouth Harbour.

Excellent place to visit to view Portsmouth and the immediate coastline. Very nostalgic for anyone who knew this area as a child. Very good local food bar with good value for money fast food. Pity the authority do not consider providing toilet facilities.

Great views

From the top of this hill there are fantastic views across the Solent. There is a whole series of forts along the hillside, some of which are open to the public. In addition, there is a large, 120feet high, monument to Admiral Lord Nelson
