Illustrative image

Hampshire is shared between the New Forest, the chalk downs and its clear river valleys. Forest loops set off from Lyndhurst, Burley, Brockenhurst and Fritham across open heath where ponies and deer roam, and cyclists can take the Rhinefield Ornamental Drive. To the east, Old Winchester Hill and Butser Hill mark the South Downs, and the River Test and the Itchen Navigation give quiet waterside miles.

Winchester brings stories of its cathedral, the Great Hall with its Round Table, and the Hospital of St Cross. You'll also hear about shipbuilding at Bucklers Hard, Beaulieu and Mottisfont Abbeys, and Silchester Roman Town beside Pamber Forest.
