Hampshire and Dorset Cities
Bournemouth Bournemouth is a popular tourist destination on the South Coast of England because of the fine 7 miles long beach and its climate with the warmest and driest weather in Britain. Park-dotted this city is filled with an abundance of architecture. It also offers a wide variety of nightclubs and over 150 restaurants with a full range of international cusines. Bournemouth is a major centre for the teaching of English and has numerous English language schools, attracting students from around the world.
Southampton Southampton is a city and major port situated on the south coast of England. Many historic buildings were bombed during the World WarII, but the old city walls remain, as does the Bargate, formerly the main gateway to the city at the northern end of the walls (Southampton has England's second-longest stretch of surviving Medieval wall). The city is home to the Southampton Solent University and West Quay shopping centre, which was the biggest city-centre shopping mall in Europe when it was opened.
Winchester Winchester is the most historic city in all of Hampshire, a fascinating city full of legends. It is best known for the Great Hall, which was built in the 12th century and is the only surviving portion of Winchester Castle. In the Great Hall stands hung in the hall from at least 1463 "King Arthur's" Round Table. The names of the legendary Knights of the Round Table are written around the edge of the table. You can also visit Jane Austen's grave in Winchester Cathedral as well as Chawton Cottage, her house.
