Hamble Tips
Hamble is a pretty village set at the mouth of the River Hamble, only five miles from Southampton and is home to 4,000 people. Ships and boats have been built here since the 13th Century, and the nautical influence continues today with the Colourful yachts, and boats that are often seen. Add the thrill of windsurfing, riverside walks and fishing opportunities, together with the fabulous views of the Marina makes a recipe for success. The church of St Andrew’s links past history, from the Norman archway to the colourful Victorian stained glass windows. Or there is always Wickham Vineyard which share the intricacies of wine making from grape to bottle, after the tour why not explore the Nature Reserve where woodland walks lead her visitor on a journey of discovery. Or maybe Marwell Zoological Park is more for you, set within 100 acres of Parkland where impressive animals live, or be amazed at the Tropical Rainforest under glass, where stunning plants jostle for attention with green tree snakes, coloured frogs and butterflies, what more could be wished for… perhaps the chance to shop at Lakeside where 300 shops will lighten any purse. A visit to Hamble will set you on a steady course for magical memories.
