Hampshire

Step back in time in idyllic rural Hampshire, where sleepy villages and market towns nestle alongside more than 3,000 miles of public footpaths and bridleways. The attractive unspoilt countryside offers visitors a variety of landscape to discover, with ancient forests, rolling downlands, wetlands, estuaries and heathland. The New Forest, William the Conqueror's playground, became a National Park in 2005, and Hampshire's many Country Parks provide the perfect starting point for walks and cycle rides.
