Hampshire

Delve into the New Forest National Park’s open heaths and ancient woodlands, say hello to maritime Portsmouth, stroll the cobbled streets of smart Winchester and gaze spellbound at its magnificent cathedral. This prosperous county is brimming with pretty market towns: Alton, Alresford and Andover make for gentle day trips, cheery pub lunches and scenic country rambles. Come to scuff your sandals on the shingle beaches in coastal Lymington, mooch its Georgian streets and browse its boutique shops before retreating to one of our carefully chosen special places to stay: all characterful, colourful and resolutely independent.
