The area around Commercial Road, Arundel Street and all of Old Portsmouth is a bit of a nightmare. Whilst it didn't create the pollution issues they have now, the tsunami of "dockies" bikes at out muster back in the fifties and sixties was a sight to behold.

We visited the IoW this summer and used Portsmouth - Fishbourne. Booking through the Club is substantially cheaper than the ferries’ direct price and you can also get discounted fares through site bookings. Portsmouth is not ideal; very tedious both on approach and navigating the old town. Also, be aware that there is limited parking at Fishbourne. We arrived early but were turned away and had to drive about 5 miles to find a lay-by to wait in.
