THE PERFECT STAYCATION
With a big question mark hovering over our ability to travel freely abroad, it is of no surprise that staying in the UK for your holiday is the popular choice. The ‘Staycation’ has never been more sought after, and with a destination as stunning and fascinating as Test Valley, it offers the perfect location for days out, weekend breaks, and longer visits. Stay somewhere that offers something unusual or just a bit different. What could be more fun than staying in a treehouse overlooking a vineyard, a converted narrow boat or converted railway carriage! Its ample outdoor spaces and natural beauty means there is plenty to enjoy out in the fresh air. Walking, horse

riding and cycling are fantastic ways to get out and about, and with the long distance Test Way providing 44 miles of exploration through the countryside. As well as the peaceful hamlets you will find some of the best pubs and restaurants in the county, serving fresh, mouthwatering, local produce. The Mayfly in Stockbridge sits right next to the River Test, and The Three Tuns is just 5-minutes walk from Romsey’s Market Place, both offering outdoor seating. Test Valley is also home to many wonderful attractions, including Sir Harold Hillier Gardens, Mottisfont, Houghton Lodge, and Romsey Abbey to name a few. Meaning there is plenty to do and something for the whole family to enjoy! Test Valley Visitor Guide
