Solent Harbours

From the commercial bustle of Southampton and the historic dockyards of Portsmouth to the racing heart of Cowes and the peaceful creeks of Chichester Harbour, Newtown and Beaulieu Rivers, this book is a handy, small-format guide to the harbours and anchorages of the Solent.

Inside you'll find:
