Charles Dickens Guided Walks

Discover the area where the Dickens family lived and worked. All walks are free of charge. They all start at the Victory Gate (entrance to the Historic Dockyard) and finish at the City Museum, Museum Road. This provides an opportunity for you to see the new "A Tale of One City" exhibition at the City Museum, which explores the links between Charles Dickens and life in Portsmouth and Leigh Park today (exhibition opens 28 January 2012). All walks start at 2.30pm and last for about 90 minutes.
