The excursion will start with a trip to Fort Cumberland which has one of England’s most impressive 18th century defensive architecture and will be followed by a trip to Portsmouth historic dockyard.
Whilst at the historic dockyard there will be a guided tour of HMS Victory which was Lord Nelson’s flagship at the battle of Trafalgar and a guided tour of HMS Warrior the first iron-hulled warship built by the Royal Navy. Access will also be given to the National Museum of the Royal Navy and to The Mary Rose Museum. The Mary Rose itself is currently closed whilst the new museum is being built but we are hopeful that we can arrange access and a talk on its raising and restoration.
