Best spots to visit in Hampshire according to readers
If you're visiting, it might be a hard job to pick where to go, as there are plenty of places rich in history or full of natural beauty to choose from. Due to the abundance of choice, it might pose the question of what the ultimate place to visit in Hampshire is. Therefore, we decided to ask Daily Echo readers to share the one place they would recommend people to go to in the county. The one place people need to visit in Hampshire according to readers There was quite a variety of comments left on the Facebook post, ranging from picturesque natural beauty spots to points of historical interest. King Arthur's Round Table in Winchester was mentioned by one reader for the latter point, which is part of the Great Hall at Westgate Museum. It is said to be "one of the finest medieval halls in England", which was built as part of Winchester Castle by William the Conqueror. Its website adds: "Step inside the legendary Great Hall and marvel at its soaring arches, rich history and the iconic Round Table, linked to King Arthur's legend in popular fiction, and walk through the formidable Westgate, where echoes of centuries past still linger in the stone." On the more natural side of things, Exbury Gardens in the New Forest was highlighted by one reader.

Other features include a narrow-gauge steam railway, a play area, a log trail and riverside walks, making it perfect for a day out. Royal Victoria Country Park in Netley Abbey was also brought up, which offers a mixture of nature and history to explore. Located on the shores of Southampton Water, it comprises around 200 acres, mixing up parkland, woodland and a shingle beach. Visitors can also explore The Chapel, which was once part of the Royal Victoria Military Hospital.

Some readers brought up individual villages as being among the best places to visit in Hampshire, which included Milford-on-Sea, Bucklers Hard and Burley. In terms of museums, Southampton's SeaCity Museum, which tells the story of the Titanic in relation to the city, and the Beaulieu Motor Museum were recommended. Recommended reading: Southampton's Mayflower Theatre was highlighted by one reader, with Winchester Cathedral and Portsmouth's historic dockyard also included. One person went for a slightly different tack in suggesting The Joiners, which is a small music venue in Southampton. This grassroots spot has seen plenty of legendary bands play there, including Oasis, The Verve, The Wombats, Two Door Cinema Club, The 1975, Radiohead and many more.

Bournemouth fish and chip restaurant selling meals for 7p
HARRY Ramsden's will be selling fish and chips for just 7p to celebrate its new retro-inspired menu. The fish and chip restaurant chain, which was founded in West Yorkshire in 1928, will be hosting the event at its Bournemouth site on Saturday, May 24. The one-day event will allow customers to purchase fish and chips at the original 1928 price of 7p, and will be available exclusively for takeaway. The event will also celebrate the relaunch of Harry Ramsden's original beef dripping fish and chips, which gave the brand its worldwide fame. A separate pan will be kept for customers who prefer an alternative to beef dripping. The Bournemouth restaurant will also be launching a new retro-inspired menu, featuring interpretations of classic dishes, as well as a heritage-inspired cocktail list. READ MORE: Daily Echo's Fish and Chip Shop of the Year winner 2025 As part of the event, the beachfront arches will be transformed into a retro-style carnival, with prizes donated by Yorkshire-based ice cream company Northern Bloc. Inside the restaurant, guests can take photos in a classic photo booth in collaboration with Joe & Seph's. Customers who share their photos will have the chance to win a bundle of popcorn-themed prizes. A new sweet and beach shop will also open, selling traditional confectionery and exclusive Harry Ramsden's merchandise. To encourage diners to explore the full menu, anyone who redeems the 7p offer and signs up for the loyalty programme will receive 20 per cent off and a free dessert on their next visit to the restaurant, valid for one month. A spokesperson for Harry Ramsden's said: "The event is a tribute to Harry Ramsden's remarkable story. "Founded in 1928 in Guiseley, West Yorkshire, what began as a modest hut quickly became a symbol of British hospitality and culinary tradition." "Nearly a century later, that spirit is being reignited." Only 1,928 portions of the 7p fish and chips will be available, so customers are encouraged to arrive early.
