The UNESCO World Heritage site of Stonehenge is just over the border in Wiltshire, and Dorset’s Jurassic coast with the world-famous Durdle Door and the fossil-rich cliffs of Lyme Regis is just a short drive away. Take a ferry across the Solent to discover the beaches, cliffs and pretty villages of the Isle of Wight.

Thanks to its location just off the M27, road travel is quick and easy and central London is less than two hours away by train.

Parking And Traffic Information In Hampshire

Hampshire has an excellent road network, with the M27 and the M3 connecting the country to the rest of the UK, as well as quiet country lanes through the New Forest and along the coastal villages that are very appealing for a motoring holiday. In Southampton city center, it is worth noting that a pay and display system operates for roadside parking in weekdays, and there are numerous long stay and short stay car parks. Winchester town center car parks can get very busy, especially during peak periods, so visitors might consider parking at one of the park and ride car parks just outside the town and taking a shuttle bus into the center.
