Hampshire lies in the centre of the south of England, a county with the sea at its feet and rolling chalk downlands at its head. Hampshire is ideal for short breaks, just a 70-minute drive from London along the M3 motorway.
Winchester, the ancient capital of Wessex, is a fascinating historic town and an ideal base for exploring Hampshire. The famous Cathedral is a must on your visit to Hampshire, with the longest nave in Europe. The town is great for shopping too, with designer shops in The Square and plenty to explore in the High Street. |
Hotels in Hampshire vary from comfortable town house hotels to luxurious country hotels, and Winchester can offer both, with the convenience of a direct rail link to central London in under 55 minutes.
To the south, the long estuary of The Solent flows down towards the Isle of Wight, past the naval town of Portsmouth. Portsmouth's historic dockyards are home to Nelson's famous flagship HMS Victory, and also the preserved wreck of a Tudor warship The Mary Rose. For those with a head for heights, the new Spinnaker Tower provides breathtaking views.
The south west of Hampshire is covered by The New Forest, a mixture of woodland and heath that provided wood for Henry VIII's warships. The New Forest is an ideal place to stay for a relaxing holiday in Hampshire, with access to beaches, woodland walks, the collection of classic cars at Beaulieu, and fabulous pubs! Accommodation in this part of Hampshire is delightful, from cosy boutique hotels to friendly bed and breakfasts, and a handful of luxurious spa hotels. |
