Places to see in ( Lee on the Solent - UK )
Lee-on-the-Solent, often referred to as Lee-on-Solent, is a small seaside district within the Borough of Gosport in Hampshire, England about five miles west of Portsmouth. The area is located on the coast of the Solent. It is primarily a residential area, with an upsurge of mostly local visitors in summer, but is well known as the former home to the Royal Naval Air Station HMS Daedalus (renamed as HMS Ariel from 1959 to 1965).
The district gained its name in the 19th century, during attempts to develop the area into a seaside resort. The area had been referenced long before this, referred to as Lee and numerous variations, including Lebritan. Early impetus for the district's development came from Charles Edmund Newton Robinson, who persuaded his father, John Charles Robinson, art curator and collector, to fund the buying of land.
Lee-on-the Solent has had a long association with aviation. Seaplane trials took place at Lee-on-the-Solent as early as 1915. A base for seaplane training was established in 1917 on the former RNAS Lee-on-Solent, formerly HMS Daedalus, site.
In 1935 the Lee Tower complex was built on the seafront next to the old pier and railway station. It was designed by architects Yates, Cook & Derbyshire, and comprised a white v-shaped Art Deco building with a 120-foot (37 m) tower. The complex housed a cinema, ballroom and restaurant, as well as a viewing platform at the tower's peak. The complex was demolished in 1971 by Gosport Borough Council, with its land now used for the promenade and remembrance gardens.
The views out to sea from the cliffs at Marine Parade are forever changing and are always interesting. From a vantage point on the grassy banks, it is possible to see shipping movements of large container ships and cruisers into Southampton and Portsmouth, sailing boats, ferries and of course the backdrop of the Isle of Wight. The seafront on Marine Parade East is where the Club House is situated for the Lee on the Solent Sailing Club LOSSC.
At the signal station, where the racing starts and finishes can be found a smaller galley that can provide light snacks and soft drinks for the people involved in racing or training of adults and youngsters at the weekend. It is a RYA accredited Sailing School and is open to visitors and day sailors alike. Boats can be hired if you would like to get on the water during hot summers.
On Marine Parade West main sea front stands the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's Lee-on-Solent Memorial erected to commemorate the 1,926 men of the Fleet Air Arm who died in various parts of the world in World War II and have no known grave.

Peterhead is a town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is Aberdeenshire's biggest settlement, Peterhead sits at the easternmost point in mainland Scotland. Peterhead sits at the easternmost point in mainland Scotland. It is often referred to as The Blue Toun (locally spelt as The Bloo Toon) and people who were born there as Blue Touners (locally spelt as Bloo Tooners). More correctly they are called blue mogginers (locally spelt as Bloomogganners), supposedly from the blue worsted moggins or stockings that the fishermen originally wore.
Peterhead was founded by fishermen and was developed as a planned settlement. In 1593 the construction of Peterhead's first harbour, Port Henry, encouraged the growth of Peterhead as a fishing port and established a base for trade. Peterhead was a Jacobite supporting town in the Jacobite risings of 1715 and 1745. In particular, it was one of the Episcopalian north-eastern ports where reinforcements, plus money and equipment, were periodically landed from France during the Forty-Five.
Peterhead has a number of in-town and out-of-town bus services.
Peterhead is further from a railway station ( 32 miles from Aberdeen ) than any other town of its size in Great Britain. The town once had two stations Peterhead railway station and Peterhead Docks railway station. Passenger trains on the Formartine and Buchan Railway stopped in 1965 under the Beeching Axe, and freight in 1970. The start of reconstruction of the Borders Railway to Galashiels (early 2013) has begun a local political debate into the possibility of reopening the line from Aberdeen to Fraserburgh and Peterhead.
The harbours, maritime and built heritage are the town's principal tourism assets. Recent initiatives include investments in the Peterhead Bay area, which have included the berthing of cruise ships in the harbour. A number of projects are planned under the auspices of the Peterhead Project initiative, including tourism strategy development, enhancement of existing attractions, measures to improve the town's physical attractiveness, and improved marketing and promotion.
Peterhead has a thriving port, serving the fishing, oil and gas and other commercial industries. It also receives many visiting seafarers arriving on ships that ply these trades. Seafarers' welfare organisation Apostleship of the Sea has a port chaplain at Peterhead to provide pastoral and practical support to them. Peterhead F.C. are a Scottish Football League club who play in the League One. They won the League Two championship in 2013–14.
Peterhead also has a successful amateur boxing club, and in 2008 was the most successful boxing club in Northern Scotland. And currently has two reigning Scottish champions. The boxing gym is open to all and located in Ellis Street.

The D-Day Story - Museum - Portsmouth, England. Full Tour.
The D-Day Story Museum Portsmouth – Is a visually stunning museum. The museum tells the story of one of the most historic days during World War 2, presented in a fresh visually stunning series of displays, mixing film, vehicles, visuals and original exhibits. My film takes you on a tour of the museum.
On the 6 June 1944, during World War 2, the allies invaded the Normandy beaches, which started the battle to free Europe from Nazi control. D-Day was the largest amphibious military assault in history. The Normandy landing was the beginning of the end of the war in Europe.
The D Day story is told in three parts, the preparation, D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. The museum also houses the remarkable Overlord Embroidery which tells the full story of the invasion.
Reasons to visit –
• Stunning visual displays.
• Overlord Embroidery – a WW2 Bayeaux tapestry.
• Over 10,000 exhibits, including vehicles, uniforms, weapons
and original artefacts.
• Among the nominated museums for European Museum of the
Year 2019.
The D-Day Story tells the personal stories of ordinary people who took part in this extraordinary day. The museum has recently undergone a £5 million pound refurbishment so provides excellent facilities and a fresh, modern experience for visitors. The museum is the only one in the UK to focus solely on telling the D-Day story.
Interesting facts –
2019 is the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion.
The D in D Day doesn’t actually mean anything! It was just a code word for the date of the invasion. The code name for the Normandy Landings was actually Operation Neptune.
The invasion was originally scheduled to start on the 5 June 1944 but was delayed by bad weather.
D Day was the largest seaborne invasion in history, involving over 156,000 allied troops and over 5,000 vessels.
The American troops on Omaha Beach encountered the heaviest fighting. They came under heavy fire from the German defences that were still intact despite allied bombing and some 2,400 troops were either killed, wounded or missing as a result of the fighting.
The Canadians at Juno Beach captured the most territory out of the allies but met stiff opposition and also suffered heavy casualties.
The Overlord embroidery is 272 feet long and is the largest embroidery of its kind in the world.

Hythe to Beaulieu - The Solent Way - Weekend Walk 38
Continuing east-west along the Solent Way, from the ferry at Hythe to the Hampshire village of Beaulieu. This is an inland stage once leaving Southampton Water, entering into the New Forest through Fawley Inclosure, Beaulieu Heath, to Hilltop, then down into the village itself on the banks of the River Beaulieu where I was sort of attacked by a goose. Disappointingly, most of the walk is along roadsides, or very near the road. I'd really like to see an alternative route for the Solent Way to the East of Beaulieu.
Apologies for the dirty image. It's not on the lense but inside the camera.
