The Central Southern England / Hampshire region

Less than an hour from London the Hampshire countryside is a pleasure in all seasons. Beautiful scenery with numerous local attractions, welcoming country pubs and restaurants.
Situated in the heart of Southern England with it's mild climate, it is an ideal base to explore Hampshire and the surrounding counties of Wiltshire and Berkshire.
- to the West lies Salisbury Plain with the World heritage sites of Stonehenge and Avebury. Then the Roman town of Bath
- to the North lies the Thames valley and then on to Oxford
- to the East lies the South Downs
- to the South lies the New Forest National Park and then the sandy beaches of Poole and Bournemouth
- The surrounding rolling farmland provides an ever-changing backdrop for the perfect holiday. A network of chalk streams including the famous River Test meander through the area providing the ideal environment for wildlife, fishing , walking or cycling.
The tourist attractions also include the beautiful cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester as well as the market towns of Marlborough or Hungerford. Visit the seaside resorts or the naval dockyards in Portsmouth (with HMS Victory and the Mary Rose) and the motor museum at Beaulieu in the New Forest.
There is so much to do and a warm welcome awaits you.

The Andover area

Andover is approximately 13 miles North-West of Winchester. The town has been in continuous habitation since Saxon times and was granted its first charter in 1175 by King Henry II.
Throughout its history it has been on major routes; the ancient Harrow Way passed just north of the town, and the Winchester to Cirencester Roman Road passes through the town (and almost beside our cottage)
The expansion of the town in the 1960's nearly doubled the town's population and brought a major boost to the local economy, which now has a thriving diversity of industry.
