Avington Park
Recommended by
Overview
Avington Park is a privately-owned house, which was once described by William Cobbett as "one of the prettiest places in the county", and has played host to Charles II and George IV. The state rooms consist of the beautifully painted main hall, the library overlooking the south lawns, adjoining and leading onto a unique pair of conservatories. The red drawing room and the ballroom upstairs with a magnificent gold plasterwork ceiling and painted panels enjoy magnificent views of the Hampshire countryside and the newly restored lake.

About the area
Hampshire’s varied landscape of hills and heaths, downlands and forests, valleys and coast are without rival in southern England. Hike across the chalk downland of the north Hampshire ‘highlands’, meander along peaceful paths through unspoilt river valleys of the Test, Itchen, Avon and Meon, or explore the lonely salt marshes and the beautiful medieval forest and heathland of the New Forest.
