Visiting Southampton

Southampton has long been linked with cruise liners, and in fact the QE2 Mile is named after Cunard’s association with the city. This is a pedestrian path through some of the city’s most popular places such as the parks, cultural quarter, high street and waterfront.

Of course those interested in Southampton’s maritime history should visit the Maritime Museum near the waterfront. Alternatively the City Art Gallery has an internationally renowned collection of 20th century British art that’s well worth a look.

Tips: There’s an Arts & Crafts Market at Above Bar Precinct on the last Sunday of every month.
