Portchester has a fascinating history stretching back almost 2,000 years, with the remarkable Portchester Castle standing beside the waters of Portsmouth Harbour. Today, the shoreline around the village provides a peaceful contrast to the busy waters further out in the harbour, with views towards Portsmouth and the surrounding Hampshire coast. The substantial rise and fall of the tide can dramatically change the appearance of the foreshore, making tide times particularly useful when exploring the waterfront.
