Portsmouth Spinnaker Tower

We took my Mother to Portsmouth yesterday and we went up the Spinnaker Tower. We pre-booked and saved 10%. There were some sites online where you could save 20% but their tickets cost more than the official prices!

Here are some of the pictures…

After going up the tower we went for lunch in The Old Customs House.
