The walk to Portsmouth Cathedral follows a boring converted railway track on Hayling Island to the ferry on its SE tip, then along the sea front. Before you get to the Cathedral you pass the impressive war memorial and  the Millennium tower, which the ratepayers of Portsmouth must be delighted to fund.

The Cathedral is a thoughtfully converted parish church. It has been re ordered with a lot of thought and is delightfully different inside. The whole place is a great mixture of traditional and modern.  ......compared to Oxford, this is a breath of fresh air.... The question of the need for a Cathedral between Chichester and Winchester is another question.
