Location Voiture Basingstoke

In the south east of England one will find Basingstoke nestled in the county of Hampshire. It is an old market town that is today an economic centre. Also, it is a prime spot, right on the central trading route between London and the south west of England.

There is evidence of early settlements at Winkelbury Camp, with earthwork remains situated across the town. There are also the remains of a Roman Road, and the Harrow Way is an ancient route across the town to the south. A popular London overspill, there are many shopping outlets in the town. Museums, historical buildings and theatrical productions add to the area’s attractions. A peculiar local legend exists about the Beast of Basingstoke. Believed to be a big cat that roamed the town, it is now said to have been shot. There is a fairly decent night-life and a diverse local music scene.
