Southampton
Beautiful yachts are moored in the town's growing marina. A little further along the waterfront they give way to cargo ships and to the magnificent Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth 2 cruise ships which occasionally dock here. Not forgetting the infamous Titanic, to which the SeaCity Museum has dedicated a major exhibition. In the town's historic quarter, the past and present stand side-by-side, with modern avenues criss-crossing narrow medieval streets, and old buildings standing alongside their contemporary counterparts.
