If you like to travel and explore, Portsmouth ferries sail to the Channel Islands, France and Spain and cruise ships depart from nearby Southampton to the Mediterranean, Baltic, Carribean and Nordic seas. Southampton airport is just 20 miles away, serving destinations across the British Isles and Europe.
