Hoverports on the Solent

[Hoverports page]

The world's longest running passenger hovercraft service runs between Southsea, Portsmouth and Ryde, Isle of Wight, in the UK. The locations of these hoverports has not changed much over the years, and nor have their terminal buildings. This page contains interactive Google Maps views of the hoverports and also links to Windows Live Maps oblique views of the hoverports.
