Best Places in Hampshire

Описание: Hampshire is located in the south of England, directly on the English Channel coast. It borders Sussex and Surrey to the east, Berkshire to the north and Wiltshire and Dorset to the west. The capital of Hampshire is Winchester. The two large cities of Portsmouth and Southampton belong to Hampshire for ceremonial reasons, but are administratively independent. Both are important southern port cities and as such have played an important role in the history of the country. Off the coast of Hampshire is the Isle of Wight, which is a county in its own right. The island can be reached by ferry from either Portsmouth or Lymington.
The New Forest National Park is also located in Hampshire. It was once a royal hunting ground and has been a national park since 2005. The administrative center of this area is the small town of Lyndhurst. The South Downs National Park also stretches from Sussex into Hampshire. The 160 km long South Downs Way, which begins in Eastbourne, ends in Winchester. But many smaller towns also enchant their visitors on their vacation trip and transport them into the history of the country. #hampshire #uk #bestplaces
