Hampshire is a lovely county as it has something for everyone. It is a good mixture of towns/cities country and the seaside. You have some very poor parts in Hampshire nut some very affulent plcaes as well. There are some great shopping centres and some small country villages with lovely country walks around them. There''s a lot of history within Hampshire - Portsmouth, Winshester, Souhampton but also some great pubs, clubs and reataurants
There are a lot of great tourist attractions with in Hampshire, and it is not far from London, on a great rail link, and has ferries to the Isle of Wight, France and Spain from here

Hampshire is definitely one of the best counties in the United Kingdom. There is so much to do here. In the summer the weather can be really nice and there is plently of coastline to enjoy. One of the highlights is the New Forest. It is a great place for people to visit with many pubs for a nice summers day and loads of greenery for walkers, horse riders and any other outdoor activity. Another good thing about Hampshire, is that in Eastleigh there is an international airport. This makes it easy to go abroad without having to travel to Heathrow or Gatwick. Hampshire has two big cities in Portsmouth and Southampton, as well as Winchester. These provide great industry and offer people different opportunities in any career they wish to do. There are some great places to shop in the county with Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth, and the West Quay centre in Southampton being the highlights. There are also some great theatres in Hampshire, such as The Mayflower and The Kings Theatre. Hampshire is a beautiful place that always has lots of things going on.

I think Hampshire is a brilliant County! GODS COUNTY. I have lived there most of my life and it offers everything. Firstly it is on the South Coast so you have got the sea and beaches! The Isle of White is only a Boat trip over a brilliant solent water. There are then the three brilliant citys of Winchester, Southampton and Portsmouth that offer some great shops and commercialised activities that can be enjoyed by both locals and tourists. Airports such as southampton are available. There is also vast countryside with hampshire not just being a concrete city it is full of green and beyond along the test valley and south downs on its East Side.

As the only place I have ever lived in is Hampshire I have to say it''s really good and overall a nice county. Hampshire is quite an important County because it has quite a few main cities in it. The main cities include: Winchester (known for it''s hisorical purposes), Southampton, Basingsoke, Portsmouth, Andover and Bournemouth. Lots of historial things happened in Hampshire for example the Titanic left from southampton and Winchester used to be Englands old capital and still is such a nice city. Hampshire is a beautiful county it has much stunning countryside and many small villages throughout it as I used to live in a small village called Chilbolten which was in the countryside, it was very stunning and I enjoyed my time living there.It had many farms and farmshops which sell very nice meat and fresh veg but not for too much expense. I think it is in a good location because its close to London but not as busy as London which means close to Heathrow but also near the coast for example going to the beach. Overall a very nice and recommended county because of the location and on how beautiful and nice it is.

Hampshire is the county i have lived in alll my life and will hopefully carry on doing so. It is one of the nicest areas i have ever been in my life, it has beautiful towns, stunning countryside and breathtaking views. In the countryside it is really nice and peacefull. It has a rviers like the River Thames, River Test, River Itchen, River Anton. They are all really pretty and probably the most famous river in Hampshire. It runs just through my garden and it always has lots of nice fish in it. Hampshire is a really good place to fish and you can always catch some really big fish if you go to the right place. There are lots of little villages scattered around the breathtaking counrtyside like chilbolton, wherwell, Leckford, Lonstock and lots more pretty litltle villages. Hampshire isnt just beautfiul countryside it also has some really historic and pretty towns. Winchester is a prime example of what Hampshire has to offer in towns and citys. It is full of history and has really nice shops and delicious restaurants. There are also some other big towns like Andover and many more. Overall Hampshire is a really nice County and would recommend it for anyone who wants to live down south. A great county 10/10.

Hampshire is a brilliant place to live and is a popular destination for holiday goers. Its coastline is popular amongst tourists with the likes of Bournemouth, Brighton, Southampton and Portsmouth all good seaside towns. There are numerous unspoilt beaches to head to for the day. It boasts a number of attractions. Winchester was the capital of ancient England and has an impressive Cathedral. The town is swamped with history and is also very good for shopping. In north Hampshire you will find Basingstoke, a new up and coming down that has a good reputation for shopping. The new forests is a very popular holiday destination.There are numerous woodland walks, horse riding walks and campsites in England newest national park.

I have enjoyed living in this county for most of my life and I believe that the positives far outweigh the negatives. One of the largest city's in Hmapshire is Winchester, was is steeped in tradition and history. It is the former capital of England and many people across the UK come here to visit the famous Winchester Cathedral. The other two main cities in this county are Portsmouth and Southampton, which are both situated on the south coast, and if you are looking for exciting nightlife then you will struggle to find two places better in the whole of England. Both places have dozens of bars and clubs, which have different themes and styles depending on the night you visit. Portsmouth is also home to huge superclub, called Liquid and Envy, which I have been to lots of times and I think its simply fantastic. The only problem with a great nightlife is that there can also be a fair share of trouble, especially in Portsmouth from my experiences. I have found that the most modern looking clubs are the ones with the best security and friendliest atmospheres, so I tend to stick to only them. The beach is also a great attraction to many tourists in the summer. If you prefer a more relaxed evening, then Both of these places also have classic theatres, called the King's and the Mayflower, both of which are over 100 years old! Various comedians and bands have played at both of these places, some of which have gone on tobe very famous. Hampshire is definately a place worth visiting and I am sure you would enjoy your stay.
