Gateway to the world

Close to London and with excellent road, rail, air, and sea links, Hampshire is a gateway to the UK and the rest of the world.

Ideally located in the Southeast of England, Hampshire is the transport hub for access to the Isle of Wight and bordered by five of the South East’s most vibrant counties: Dorset, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Surrey, and West Sussex.
