About Hampshire

Hampshire is a county on the south coast of England. The county borders Dorset, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Surrey and West Sussex and is a popular holiday area, with tourist attractions that include its many seaside resorts, the maritime area in Portsmouth, and the motor museum at Beaulieu.

The New Forest National Park lies within the borders, as does a large area of the South Downs, which is also scheduled to become a National Park. Hampshire has a long maritime history and two of England's largest ports lie on its coast. The county is famed as home of the writers Jane Austen and Charles Dickens.
