Portsmouth City is situated on the Solent, midway along the South coast of the U.K. Portsmouth is famous for its historical association to the Royal Navy, with its strategic location, and deep channeled natural harbour. This association has fed the growth of the city over recent centuries. For more on this see 'A Brief History' and 'A Short History' on the Historic Dockyard site. It is also a holiday resort with the beaches streaching along Southsea front, its historic castle, Victorian pier, gardens, and views across to the Isle of Wight.
