The city and its surrounding area boasts sea forts, naval warships, castles, a national park and a clifftop offering a sublime day or night perspective of Portsea Island.
At a time when we’re all forced to make the most of the city we call home, we asked our readers to show us their favourite photos they have ever taken in the Portsmouth area.
What we got in response was a catalogue of stunning images which made us proud to call Portsmouth home, as we’re asked to stay at home as much as we can.
Enjoy perusing our readers’ favourite Portsmouth photos over the next nine pages of this photo gallery and feel free to submit your own to us via Facebook Messenger, or by emailing [email protected].

That clifftop we mentioned above? This is it. We love April's sunset photo from the top of Portsdown Hill, overlooking Portsmouth. Photo: April Louise

It's been said that the best views of Portsmouth can't be seen in Portsmouth at all. Charlotte's photo from across the harbour, in Gosport, back up that theory. Photo: Charlotte Sparey
