Are you over 60 and keen on walking and exploring? Take on a new adventure and get your step count up at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
We got together a team of active adults aged 60+ and Olympian Roger Black to help us develop a series of new walking routes around Portsmouth Historic Dockyard’s fantastic museums, and now you can try them out.
So grab your Ultimate Explorer ticket and discover new parts of our ships and museums whilst staying fit and healthy!
You can take on:
Trafalgar Trail
Explore HMS Victory, from Nelson’s Day Cabin to the spot where he fell in battle, then finish off your walk in our museum discovering more about Trafalgar and the exciting role that HMS Victory played.
Mary Rose March
Step back in time and discover the sights and sounds of the Mary Rose as you march between the decks of the museum and even test your arm muscles with a spot of archery.
Warrior Walk
Put your sea legs into action and step aboard HMS Warrior, the pride of Queen Victoria’s fleet. This walking route features a large number of steps.
Submarine Saunter
Our shortest walking trail, but not for the faint hearted! Take on the Submarine Saunter and experience life onboard Britain’s only remaining Second World War submarine, HMS Alliance.
Please note that the amount of steps will vary depending on how long your legs are. Some walking routes take you onboard historic vessels, so please be aware of steeps steps, low beams and trip hazards.
