Southampton
Located in the south of England, Southampton is culturally rich and vibrant. An important seaport on the British coast since the 11th century, many world-famous ships have set sail from Southampton including the Titanic and Mayflower. Today, it is known as the cruise capital of the UK, with millions of cruise passengers passing through each year. Go on a walking tour to uncover the city’s maritime history and see the longest surviving stretch of medieval walls in England. The city’s cultural offering also includes many historic buildings, art galleries and museums. Home to plenty of greenspace on the Common, Southampton is well worth a visit.
The city is also a great starting point to the Hampshire countryside, the New Forest, as well as beautiful Isle of Wight which is only 20 miles from the mainland. And with a regular ferry service, it’s the perfect place to escape to for a day trip.
