Our visit was made more interesting by the knowledgable guides who explained some of the finer points of working the ship and its armaments. Well worth a visit as part of the historic dockyards.

Despite having lived in Portsmouth over 5 years now we'd never been to the dockyard. HMS warrior was a brilliant day out with lots of interesting things on the ship. brilliant well worth a visit.

Warrior shows you what navy life was like in the 1840's, very well restored. There are friendly, well informed docents to explain the exhibits.

This was the first iron hull ship and its figurehead is gorgeous. You can walk on the ship and see where the men lived, ate and slept in a cramped wooden bed. Living conditions were terrible. The preservation of this ship is beautiful.

very interesting to look round. well kept worth a visit even on a very rainy day like we had. Good value if you buy a ticket for the whole site

But an important visit for everyone... More
