Attractions to Visit in Your Holiday at Hampshire

Do you prefer to travel alone or with your family? You have to admit that either option have pros and cons. For example, if you opt to be on your own, you can choose to do whatever you want without consideration to other people. But the trip could get lonely at some point. Holidaying with children, on the other hand, is fun, but you have to be discerning with your choice of accommodation, food, or even attractions. Fortunately, if you are on your way to Hampshire, you will find places and sights that the entire family can share and enjoy.

• Staunton Country Park

It was named after Sir George Staunton, a 19th century botanist who created the pleasure garden. Here, you will also have the opportunity to experience what it is like to be in the tropics inside large Victorian glasshouses that were restored to its former glory. It also has a play area and an Ornamental Farm where kids can feed friendly animals.

• Basing House

It used to be the country's largest private home where the Marquess of Winchester, William Paulet, used to live. Although all that is left of it are ruins of what used to be a medieval castle, you will be in awe of its rich history. Today, the Basing Grange buildings were restored and converted to provide facilities for tourists.

• Birdworld

In this parkland in Farnham, you will find a massive collection of birds inside twenty-six acres of gardens. Aside from parrots, penguins, and other species, you will also find alligators as well as freshwater and marine fishes.

• Spinnaker Tower

This is known as a national icon that provides tourists spectacular views from its three platforms. The third level has glass floors which gives you a feel of what it is like to be walking on air, literally. This is also where you will learn about the history of the harbour.

• Jane Austen's House Museum

Are you fond of this novelist whose works describe the society of England in the pre-industrial era? If yes, then this is the place where you can get a glimpse of the story of her life and family.

Well, the list is not that exhaustive which means that there are other local attractions that await you in Hampshire. Plus, this is also the place where you can find exceptional boat valeting services in case you decide to bring along your yacht with you on your holiday.
