Discover a delightful miniature world: Southsea Model Village and its accessible coastal charm, perfect for a car-free day by the sea.
Nestled on the vibrant Southsea seafront, the enchanting Southsea Model Village offers a whimsical escape for all ages. Marvel at its intricate 1/12th scale buildings, from tiny castles to a working ‘G’ scale garden railway, all set within beautifully landscaped gardens inside an old Victorian fort. It’s a joy to explore every miniature detail, including a model of Portsmouth Guildhall and a charming waterfall.
Reaching this delightful attraction without a car is wonderfully straightforward. After arriving at Portsmouth Harbour station, a pleasant stroll east along the seafront brings you directly to the village, right beside the picturesque Rose Gardens and the ever-popular Canoe Lake. Here, you can hire pedal boats or simply relax by the water. Adjacent to the village, Southsea Beach invites you for a refreshing walk with panoramic views across the Solent. From here, it’s an easy wander to South Parade Pier for traditional seaside fun, or to Southsea Castle to delve into Tudor history. The accessible nature of the seafront means you can effortlessly connect with a host of attractions, making for a truly memorable car-free adventure along the Hampshire coast.
