Basingstoke is a modern town in Hampshire, in southern England. It is a practical place to start from: the railway brings London within about an hour, which makes the town a convenient base for visiting both the capital and the surrounding countryside.
What the area offers
- Chawton, a village with links to Jane Austen, is within easy reach for a day out.
- The North Wessex Downs offer rolling hills and open walking country.
- Old Basing, a charming village, has Tudor ruins to explore.
Who it suits
The town is primarily a business hub, so its character is more modern than historic. Visitors who come for the surrounding landscape and villages will find it an easy place to stay between trips, while those interested in literary heritage or quiet country walks will find the most reward in the places nearby rather than in the town itself.
