We had a very enjoyable visit to The VICTORY. 3 adults and and 4 year old. Unbelievable how many decks there are. Interesting to see how 500 men fought, slept and ate on board. Also a huge sense of age. Our 4 year old was kept interested for the whole trip.

The ship was wonderful and extremely well presented and conserved. It is clear that a lot of work has gone into keeping it and it’s resources such as the guns and cannons in top condition. Great warnings about remembering to duck too as the ceilings do get lower as you move to the lower decks of the ship. A great day out and perfect for an 8 year old plus to start learning more history.

The victory is a fantastic visit. The audio tour is excellent and the staff around the ship were also very Knowledgeable and added extra info if asked. Just bear in mind they weren't very tall back then so if you are 6 foot plus prepare to do quite a lot of bending. But don't let that put you off
