HMS Alliance
About
HMS Alliance, on Isle of Wight, is reached via The Solent, Haslar Rd, Gosport PO12 2AS, on the mainland side of the crossing.
First-time visitors should expect a preserved submarine hull rather than a conventional gallery, with the interior viewed at close quarters. Its 4.7 out of 5 score, drawn from 177 reviews, reflects how consistently it satisfies those who make the trip. Reaching it from the island's towns is straightforward, since ferry crossings from Ryde, Cowes, Yarmouth and the other ports connect to the mainland, and Newport, Sandown, Shanklin, Ventnor and Freshwater sit within the island's road network. Its position on the Solent places it on the shore opposite the Isle of Wight rather than on the island itself. A website at https://historicdockyard.co.uk/discover/rn-submarine-museum/ provides further reference.
British islands were fortified in both world wars, and concrete coastal defences still stand on several. Island life centres on harbours, lifeboat stations and the RNLI, with regattas and fetes in summer.
For anyone based in Ryde, Cowes, Yarmouth or the other ports, the crossing to the mainland is the practical first step before heading along Haslar Rd. Newport, Sandown, Shanklin, Ventnor and Freshwater all feed into the island's road network, so a day trip to the submarine can be planned around a ferry timetable. The 177 reviews and 4.7 out of 5 score suggest the trip rewards those who make it.
