Golden Lion Pub, Gunwharf Quays & the D-Day Museum

Tales of Courage and Heroic Actions During World War II Follow in the footsteps of men who altered the course of war during visits to a historic pub and the D-Day Museum. Journey to the quaint village of Southwick to discover the crucial role that it played in the planning of the D-Day Invasion. Visit the Golden Lion, an iconic, Tudor-era pub that was used as an officers’ mess and was frequented by Gens. Eisenhower and Montgomery. View its memorabilia-adorned walls, enjoy refreshments and meet the landlord, a local historian whose stories will bring that time period to life. Continue to Portsmouth and stop at Gunwharf Quays—a renovated former military site, now home to an array of retail outlets and eateries. After time for lunch on your own, take a tour of the D-Day Museum and be captivated by evocative displays that tell the courageous stories of civilians and military personnel through dramatic archival film and interactive exhibits. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
