Ocean Village

As the name alludes Ocean Village is a waterfront development and one of the UK's biggest marinas. You never know who you might bump into in one of its seafront restaurants or cafes, especially during mega-events like the International Boat Show in September. The real attraction is sitting on the waterfront, looking at a forest of masts with a glass in your hand and recognizing famous yachts and faces.

Beaulieu

Among the few noted villages that lie along the National Park in the County of Hampshire is Beaulieu. One can visit the hamlet of Buckler's Yard and see the Georgian cottages while visiting the village. Another significant place of interest is a small maritime museum and a modern yachting marina. The British National Motor Museum which has many historic motor vehicles is also worth a tour. Also part of Beaulieu are the historic Beaulieu Abbey and Beaulieu Palace House. Tourists who head to the New Forest also stop here and see some of the local birds which are a specialty.

Buckler's Hard

This small 18th-century village is one of the most attractive and unusual villages in England. Set on the banks of the Beaulieu River in the New Forest, Buckler's Hard was the scene for parts of A Man for All Seasons. You can visit a maritime museum, take a river cruise, go on a woodland walk or just take in the natural beauty of this historic village. A trip to Beaulieu, under two miles away, is also recommended.

Winchester Cathedral

This stunning Anglican cathedral, boasting the longest nave in entire Europe, is the centerpiece of the historic Medieval town of Winchester. Built in a Romanesque style, the Winchester Cathedral is steeped in a storied past that began with the original Saxon church, a Benedictine monastery dating back to 648. The erstwhile church was home to the remains of Saint Swithun, the then bishop of Winchester. When the cathedral was expanded in 971, and later re-built in 1079, the Saint's remains were moved inside, inviting a wave of pilgrims and devotees. During the Middle Ages, the cathedral underwent extensive renovation as successive bishops added their own architectural nuances and elements, which included the fabled Gothic nave. As the years passed, the imposing cathedral became further renowned for several historic elements like the transept and the Norman crypt, both venerated remnants of the 11th Century. At the heart of this crypt, which floods intermittently in the winter, is a sculpture that stoically stands in rising water. Its other outstanding treasures include the Winchester Bible, which was written in the cathedral's scriptorium between 1160 and 1180, and a 17th-century library that contains ancient manuscripts and early printed books from Medieval times. Jane Austen, acclaimed English novelist, is buried here, besides the entombed remains of several Saxon kings, Viking conqueror Canute, and William II.

HMS Victory

The HMS Victory is a historic ship that, after having witnessed much history, rests today as a prominent attraction. The ship was launched in 1765 and is the oldest one still in commission. Her claim to fame is the historic Battle of Trafalgar wherein she was used as a flagship by Lord Nelson. She has also been part of other battles and voyages. With a colossal body, multiple decks and high waving sails, the ship is a wonderful sight. The neighboring Royal Naval Museum displays much information, photographs, old maps and other memorabilia of this giant vessel that has sailed through murky waters.
