Built and run by Hampshire Council it is a place of "living history" a full size victorian town with so much to see and then pasing under a bridge you emerge into a another era this time a mix of 30s& 40s with a hidden corner full of domestic items and exclamations of "I had one of those" or" I remember them" Do get to Milestones you will not be disappointed. |

And as we're going on a whistle stop tour, how about the Mid Hants Railway/Watercress Line, or see the birds at the Hawk Conservancy near Andover  |

Can you add information about it here plus the others you mention and any photos. The more places of interest and things to do added here, the easier it will be for people making plans to visit Hampshire. There are so many places in Hampshire that have the "awaiting pictures" box and/or no descriptions it would be great if we can fill the gaps and add photos or words. Last full day in Hampshire everyone, so please let us know what we have missed and tell us about it. I will see you all on the Hovercraft to the Isle of Wight and the Ryde Carnival tonight. Have a fantastic day |
