In and around Hampshire

As the days become colder our gardens and countryside are transformed into landscapes of rich autumn colour. Crimson and purple leaves of liquidamber trees create beautiful reflections across The Vyne's lake. At Hinton Ampner wide rides take you through glorious golden beech woods.

Our downloadable trails are an easy way to explore beautiful autumn landscapes. Set out across wildlife-rich farmland at Mottisfont. Or walk over Stockbridge Down on its history trail, leading to panoramic views. In the New Forest you'll find huge expanses of russet heath.

Open Exhibition, until 11 Nov. This popular art exhibition has returned for 2018, showcasing work from both amateur and professional artists. You'll find a really exciting mix of sculpture, paintings, drawings and textiles, each piece specially selected by a panel of arts specialists. Look out for much-loved local landscapes too.

Following its roof project, The Vyne has re-opened with a new look. Explore the untold story of a Victorian brother and sister who saved the mansion. You’ll discover newly presented rooms and audio-visual displays of its magnificent tapestries. In the library 2,500 are being restored to the shelves - take a look close up.

Our cosy shops offer a chance to do a spot of Christmas shopping in the peace of the countryside. At The Vyne you’ll find gifts to suit all pockets. Snap up some rhubarb and ginger gin liqueur or Bucks Fizz marmalade. There are beautiful wreaths and tree decorations, pretty cushions inspired by nature, and little stocking fillers.

In the lead up to Christmas, this tranquil little chapel is also a haven of creativity. A series of craft workshops is offering festive decoupatch, papercraft and wreath-making sessions for people of all abilities. This is a lovely opportunity to make exclusive festive gifts for friends and family.
