Hampshire and the South Downs

Marwell Lodges Hampshire sit in an outstanding position for exploring the very best of this vibrant and varied county. The South Downs National Park surrounds the lodge park with some of the finest walking countryside in southern England, with the South Downs Way long distance path offering miles of chalk downland walking with sweeping views north and south across the Hampshire and Sussex landscapes. The New Forest National Park is also within easy reach, with its famous free roaming ponies, ancient woodland and hundreds of miles of traffic free cycling and walking trails.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is one of the finest maritime attractions in Britain and absolutely deserves a full day’s visit. The Mary Rose, raised from the Solent after almost 450 years on the seabed, is extraordinary up close, and Action Stations provides an immersive insight into life in the modern Royal Navy. The Royal Naval Museum and the Royal Navy Submarine Museum in nearby Gosport add further depth to what is already an exceptional collection of naval heritage in a single location.

The historic city of Winchester is within easy reach and one of the great pleasures of staying in this part of Hampshire. As the ancient capital of England, Winchester has a magnificent cathedral, a beautifully preserved medieval Great Hall and one of the most attractive high streets in the south of England. Southampton and Portsmouth both offer excellent shopping, dining and nightlife for those who want a livelier evening out.

For those who prefer to explore the countryside at their own pace, the Alresford Millennium Trail is one of the prettiest walking routes in Hampshire, winding through the beautiful Georgian town of Alresford on an easy route suitable for the whole family. Cyclists will enjoy the Brightstone and the Downs route, a ten mile ride through outstanding Hampshire scenery past Bronze Age burial mounds and open downland, while the Danebury Off-Road Cycle Trail leads through the Broughton Downs with magnificent views across the endless green fields of this exceptional county.
