Information about Hampshire
Hampshire is one of England’s most historically significant and naturally beautiful counties, a place where ancient forests, chalk rivers, a world famous coastline and two of the south’s most rewarding cities combine to create a destination of exceptional variety and depth.
The New Forest is the jewel in Hampshire’s crown, an ancient royal hunting forest that has survived largely intact for nearly a thousand years and was designated a national park in 2005. It is a landscape of extraordinary atmosphere — open heathland, ancient woodland, meandering streams and the famous free roaming ponies that wander through villages and across roads with a magnificent indifference to the modern world. For walking, cycling and simply slowing down, it is one of the finest destinations in southern England.
The chalk rivers of Hampshire — the Test, the Itchen and the Meon among them — are among the clearest and most beautiful in the country, flowing through water meadows and villages of thatched cottages in a landscape of quintessential English pastoral beauty. The Test in particular is world famous among fly fishermen and flows through some of the most quietly perfect countryside in the south.
Winchester, the ancient capital of England, is one of the most rewarding small cities in the country, with a magnificent cathedral, a great hall containing the legendary Round Table and a compact historic centre that rewards unhurried exploration. Southampton, by contrast, is a bustling port city with a rich maritime heritage and a history that stretches back to Roman times.
The Hampshire coast takes in the sheltered waters of the Solent, the yachting capital of Cowes just across the water on the Isle of Wight, and the historic naval city of Portsmouth, home to some of the most important maritime heritage attractions in the world.
Whether you are looking for a forest retreat in the New Forest, a fly fishing break on the Test, a city break in Winchester or a maritime adventure on the Solent coast, Hampshire is a county of quiet confidence and extraordinary heritage.
