Bishop's Waltham, a lovely little medieval market town is nestled at the source of the River Hamble, right on the edge of South Downs National Park. The town enjoys plenty of pleasantries with traditional shopping, pub lunches and a visit to the remains of Bishop's Waltham Palace, the ancient residence of the bishop of Winchester and ruined by Oliver Cromwell. This historical palace was destroyed in 1644 but there are still extensive ruins which are worth a look. You can stock up on essentials at the local Sainsbury's and have a delightful meal at the Waltham Tandoori. Winchester, the historic and intriguing city that served as England's ancient capital, is within reach via car or bus. This city is home to the magnificent Winchester Cathedral, King Arthur's Round Table, and the final resting place of renowned novelist Jane Austen. The Watercress Line Steam Train is located nearby, right outside of Alresford, and is ideal for railway enthusiasts. The town is also ideally located a short drive from Portsmouth which will offer plenty of coastal activities at a sandy beach.
