The area offers a huge variety: large urban centres such as Basingstoke, Bournemouth and Southampton, the historic cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester; Portsmouth with its naval connections.

The countryside is some of the most beautiful in England with picturesque villages, Dorset’s Jurassic coastline, the New Forest and the Solent. For sailing enthusiasts, the Isle of Wight is the home of Cowes Week and the Solent is a popular location for watersports.
