Pubs in Hampshire

Hampshire is a perfect blend of picture-postcard villages, vibrant cities, undulating hills, leafy lanes, stunning coastline, and  a rich maritime heritage.

Hills and heaths, forest and downland, rivers and streams, water meadows and woodland, this is rural Hampshire.

With cities like Winchester, Portsmouth and Southampton at your disposal, add to that sports activities, wildlife parks, theme parks, museums, beaches and heritage sites that are second to none, a day out in Hampshire could easily become two, three or even four. Many of our Great Country Pubs have excellent accommodation and The Anchor at Lower Froyle, the Hawkley Inn near Liss and the Ye Olde George, East Meon, would all be more than happy to oblige.

Hampshire’s acres of beautiful scenery are a delight for nature lovers who want to escape to the country. The woods and heaths of the New Forest, where ponies graze through oak-fringed glades, conceal some idylic rural pubs for refreshment or an overnight stop, such as the Fish Inn near Ringwood, the Red Lion at Boldre or The Turfcutters near Brockenhurst.

An abundance of beautiful villages nestle in the Test Valley, which is also blessed with an abundance of country pubs that specialise in local produce and offer a friendly place to enjoy real ale and rest your head for the night.

Don't miss the Good Food Hampshire website, full of ideas for days out with a foodie flavour including traditional country pubs and special offer vouchers.
