Located on the south coast of Hampshire, largely based on Portsea Island, Portsmouth is an area that combines both coastal and mainland living. As a busy city, Portsmouth has a wide range of amenities itself, but it’s close proximity to Southsea, Gosport – a journey that takes around 4 minutes via ferry – and Cosham extends that even further. You can also travel from Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight in 45 minutes, docking in Fishbourne. Its position on the coast and island layout make Portsmouth unique from many other cities, and it’s easy to see the appeal.
