There’s a scale & grandeur to the Old Royal Naval College that is rare in the UK - it is truly vast.

Many of the buildings aren’t open to the public so the entry fee mostly covers the Painted Hall. It is magnificent but you really need to go on the tour, included in the price. There’s not much information available if you don’t.

£16.50 - Children free
