Based at the very south-eastern point of England, Portsmouth is a lovely little town that dates back to Roman times. Back then we can’t imagine it has a very big population compared to its current figure which shows over 207,100 people live in this seaside town!
The place holds a lot of historic monuments and museums, such as the D-Day Museum, Southsea Castle, the Round Tower, and of course, the Royal Marines Museum. Evident of its location (and its name) Portsmouth is a Port town, this is very responsible for shaping its history, and the town played a big role in WWII. Due to the seaside areas, we strongly recommend wrapping up more than usual if you fancy a ride around the out-skirt areas.
Statistics show that there were in fact 5,148 motorbikes found on the major roads of Portsmouth in 2016.

Biking Routes
Fareham to Petersfield Loop
Starting in Fareham, this route takes you on a loop through West Meon, onto Petersfield, it then takes you through Waterlooville before returning back to Fareham. There are a few turns here and there but most of the route is pretty much straight. It would be advisable to take the route on a Sunday evening when it’s nice and quiet to embrace the main roads and have them all to yourself!
Hilsea (Portsmouth) - West Meon - Alton - Selbourne - Petersfield
This route takes you from Liss to Fareham before passing through Alton, that’s where the loop is! The guide brings you on some nice countryside roads, so it would be great to get out on your bike for this one on a bright summers day. Starting off in Liss, the route is quite pleasant, but it gets more exciting when you get on the loop through Alton, proceeding down through West Meon and down to Fareham. That part is just pretty much a straight A-Road giving you all the freedom in the world to take in the country sights.
Waterlooville - Winchester – Petersfield
Head west on Hulbert Road, Waterlooville and you will find yourself travelling this charming rural route. Carry on North-West and you will be taken to a quaint little village called Hambledon. If you then head north you will be taken to Winchester where you will approach the A31 roundabout and take the 3rd exit back onto the same road. Following the A31 will take you through Temple Valley where you will take the slip road onto the A272 you will then take this pleasant country road through to the A3, which you will follow back to Waterlooville.
