Portsmouth to Wellington bus

Portsmouth, located on the South coast of England, is home to several important historical dockyards and thus a storied maritime heritage. Though many people travel here to experience the nautical atmosphere, Portsmouth also offers many attractions and experiences to suit every taste.

For a taste of the sea, Henry VIII's Mary Rose is a must-see attraction, as well as Lord Nelson's famous HMS Victory. Both ships are accompanied by museums where visitors can learn more about these significant historical warships. If the weather drives you inside, take a walk around the Portsmouth Museum and Art Gallery, hosting a variety of displays and recreations of how life has changed in Portsmouth over the centuries. To see the whole city all at once, climb Spinnaker Tower to see the city from 170 meters high. Finally, if you're feeling brave, walk across the glass Sky Walk to see the waves crash on the shore beneath your feet.

Due to its many ports, Portsmouth is accessible via ferry, as well as train, car, and bus. The South Western Railway makes getting to Portsmouth from London and other southern towns easy, while National Express and Megabus provide bus services that link many other major towns and cities.

Wellington is a small market town in the county of Somerset, in southwest England. The town was put on the map by the Fox Family in the 18th century, whose integrated woolen mill was largely responsible for Wellington's growth and prosperity. Visit the Wellington Museum to dive into this family's legacy, as well as other exhibits about this historic town.

Sampling the local food is easy in Wellington, as it was recently designated a "Food Town." Many food-focused events occur annually, and various local restaurants make it a great place to stop for lunch. The town is also home to multiple specialist shops and independent retailers, which are great for browsing as you stroll through the historic streets. For evening entertainment, head to the Wellesley: a unique 1930s cinema that plays current blockbusters.

Getting to Wellington is simple, as it's close to many major roads and cities. Nearby Taunton Station provides access via rail, and a direct bus can take you on to Wellington once you arrive at Taunton Station. In addition, National Express, Megabus UK, and FlixBus bus services provide direct services from Bristol Birmingham, and Cardiff, among other places.
