Basing House
Once the largest private house in England during the Tudor period, Basing House was ultimately destroyed at the hands of Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War in 1645. Now, all that stands are the historical ruins and grounds of a once-grand estate, surrounded by the beautiful views of Basingstoke. Tours are conducted regularly, so why not experience this significant moment in history for yourself?
Milestone Museum
Feeling like bringing the past into the present? Milestone, Hampshire’s living history museum, is the perfect chance to do exactly that. It’s not your typical museum – with a lined network of cobbled streets, you can experience history just as people did back during Victorian times through to the 1940s. From sweets and teddy bears all the way to exploring old-fashioned shops and a special amusement pier, you’ll forget what year it is. Almost.
