Southampton is in Hampshire on the south coast. It has been an important port for centuries. Both the Titanic and the Mayflower departed from there. It is still a home port for large cruisers. The SeaCity Museum is the ideal place to check out all the city’s maritime history. The same building houses an interesting art collection.
Southampton has several interesting historic buildings most of which are in the Old Town area. There is the 800-year-old Bargate, The Medieval Merchant’s House, The Tudor House, as well as a substantial stretch of the Medieval City walls. You can follow the walls to several other interesting buildings: the Wool House, God’s House Tower and a 12th century hospital which was dedicated to Saint Julian.
East of the Old Town, the Princess Alexandra Dock is thoroughly modern. It is a great area for shopping, eating out and entertainment, as well as watching the yachts and seeing how the super-rich live.
For a pleasant day inland drive to the beautiful New Forest in your Europcar car or van. You might want to combine it with a visit to the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu which includes vehicles from James Bond and Harry Potter films. You can also explore the stately home and gardens.
There are regular ferries from Southampton to the Isle of Wight. It is famous in part for its rock festivals but there are many other things to see and do. Alum Bay has wonderful, coloured sands. Cowes has yachts galore. The island also has Queen Victoria’s Osborne House, Carisbrooke Castle, a steam railway, and strange chalk stack formations known as the Needles.
