By bus

Hampshire is well served by bus routes in both rural and urban areas.

The first service will be operating from Eastleigh to Marwell Zoo until September 2013, on selected days. The second will be a free bus service travelling between Romsey and Longstock Park in Stockbridge, via Mottisfont and Sir Harold Hillier Gardens.
