Group Travel Guide
The beautiful Hamble Valley in Hampshire is the perfect location for tour
groups to visit! Stretching between Winchester, Southampton and Portsmouth,
the Hamble Valley can cater for a variety of groups needs whilst being easily
accessible.
If you are looking for ideas for groups why not:
* Explore the village of Hamble, the yachting Mecca of the South coast and
stopping for a cream tea,
pub lunch or picnic by the river
* Take in the area's rich history by visiting Hampshire's only working windmill
at Bursledon, meet the miller and give your group the chance to buy freshly
ground flour or visit the other numerous historic attractions in the area.
* Let the group enjoy the beautiful countryside on offer through completing
one of Hamble Valley's walking trails.
Hold a barbeque and a nature trail at one of the four country parks and explore
the park's other faciities.
