Nearby attractions
Gunwharf Quays is a major retail destination with many large outlet stores, restaurants and bars. But if Gunwharf Quays’ retail luxuries aren’t enough for you, you can always indulge in the history of the site itself. The Gunwharf site and buildings go back to the late 17th Century and served as an armament store and a naval shore establishment for the British empire, until its latest development into this glorious creation in the 1990s (we promise it’s more fascinating to see in person). The lovely modern take of the nearby Spinnaker Tower that overlooks the seafront is a real blend of old and new for you to admire on your trip.
