Leaving Spain behind, the long crossing to England lands at Portsmouth or Plymouth, with the Bay of Biscay's open water giving way to the English south coast after a day or more at sea. Portsmouth's historic dockyard, home to HMS Victory, is an easy first stop, while the road inland opens up toward the New Forest or on to London for those continuing further. The Mary Rose Museum, housing Henry VIII's recovered flagship, is right alongside HMS Victory and makes for a full day of naval history at the dockyard.
