About Luxury Houses in Hampshire, England

Step back in time and Hampshire was once home to England’s national treasure, Jane Austen. These days you can walk in the footsteps of the Pride and Prejudice author during a visit to the writer’s house turned museum. If the humble abode of Austen is a little on the small side for your outing, the same won’t be said for Highclere Castle. Put on the map as the grand residence of Downton Abbey, you can recline in the spring gardens over afternoon tea or a champagne picnic.

For nature lovers, the questions is countryside or coastline? Those who prefer woodlands to waves will find themselves at home in the beautiful greenery of the New Forest. Spot wild ponies along the Tall Trees Walk, savour the sunset at Hatchet Pond or race through the day at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu.

If the seashore is a sure bet for you, you will love the coastline that stretches along the south of Hampshire. Sailing schools galore prepare avid water goers for races such as the Round the Island Race and the Clipper Race, or if you just want to admire the sails from afar, age old Cowes Week is one of the most respected regattas worldwide, whilst the Southampton Boat Show offers the chance to see the latest nautical debuts and adrenaline-filled RIB boat adventures.

Yet should you wish to just lose yourself in the calm of the vast countryside, whether it be by foot or by bike, you are spoilt for choice with endless trails. With over 750 off-road cycle routes, from circular journeys through the South Downs National Park to easy going flat circuits such as the West Wood Trail at Farley Mount, there’s something to suit all abilities. Combine walking with cityscapes on Keat’s Walk – Ode to Autumn, which follows in the poet’s footsteps which inspired the poem of the same name.

BEST TIME
TO VISIT

Hampshire is a year-round destination to be enjoyed, with many quaint market towns and all-weather walking routes. However, the beautiful beaches are best enjoyed in the warmer weather days throughout July to August, and many of the sailing events for the diary take place in these months. Autumn is a sensational time to visit the New Forest, with fiery leaves making for vivid walks during September and October, whilst the spring month of April is the perfect time for walks in the countryside and watching the flowers burst into life. Don’t miss out on Beaulieu’s annual firework display for Bonfire Night.
