Historic houses and gardens

Historic houses  and gardens

Hampshire has a fine selection of historic houses and gardens, from the world famous Exbury Gardens in the New Forest, to the superb plant collections of the Sir Harold Hiller Gardens at Romsey, the heavenly rose gardens at Mottisfont Abbey and the quiet medieval charm of Queen Eleanor’s Garden in Winchester. 

Among the many historic houses, Stansted House on the south east Hampshire border and The Vyne at Basingstoke offer interesting insights into the past.
