The Views

Stretching for up to 23 miles in any direction, the panorama that unfolds from the top of the Spinnaker Tower is truly breathtaking. From the sandy beaches of the Witterings and Selsey Bill in the East to the countryside of the New Forest in the West, from the picturesque Isle of Wight in the South to the rolling hills of Hampshire’s South Downs in the North, the views are a sight to behold.

On arrival at the Tower, hire one of our Audio Guides to add another dimension to your visit by teaching you about Portsmouth’s varied and intriguing history and helping you spot the many interesting landmarks that make the area special.
