Hampshire, with its population of approximately 1.8 million residents, is not just a destination, but a striking narrative of Britain’s history. Its origins trace back to the Roman era when Hampshire served as the de facto administrative centre of the region. The central city of Winchester was then known as Venta Belgarum, one of the main Roman-style towns alongside Calleva Atrebatum (modern Silchester).

Steeped in historical wealth, Hampshire has witnessed continuous occupation since the last Ice Age. It retained its significance throughout the Bronze and Iron Ages too, with the construction of hillforts and fortified settlements. The serene landscapes are decorated with remnants of these past eras, with its undulating hills, chalk belts and major rivers painting a picturesque canvas.

During the Middle Ages, the ports of Southampton and Portsmouth resurfaced as essential maritime hubs, due to their involvement in international trade and the wool, cloth and shipbuilding industries. These cities, which form part of the South Hampshire built-up area, are still significant maritime centres today.
