The Garrison church is older than the Anglican cathedral and has some very interesting history. Worth a visit for anyone interested in Portsmouth history. check opening times.

Nice place to walk past and peer into. Lost its nave roof during the second world war. One can also climb up the ramparts or walk under, through the tunnel. Interesting place near to Gunwharf and Spice island
