Hampshire、英格蘭、英國
Petersfield is a great place to live and visit, with so much to offer. It has recently been recognised by The Times newspaper as one of the best places to live in the UK (2018).
We are perfectly situated to access one of Petersfield's greatest natural assets (see the map below). Less than half a mile away, The Heath offers 69 acres of open spaces and secluded wooded paths to explore along with a sizeable lake; depending on the time of year, boats can also be hired if you fancy getting out on the water. There is a fully accessable path circumnavigating the lake which makes for a perfect stroll on a summer's evening or at the weekend. Early mornings are best when the place is deserted and you can enjoy the peace and tranquility of nature at it's best.
Petersfield has been a market town for over 800 years. A regular market is held in the town square every Wednesday and Saturday. There are monthly farmer's markets selling local produce on a Sunday and the occasional craft market throughout the year.
The High Street is at the heart of the town with a variety of shops including a good selection of independent retailers. We also have a number of restaurants and bars, serving a variety of cultural delicacies from around the world.
If you are attending a wedding at the Tithe Barn we are ideally located - less than 3 miles away (about 7 minutes)
The town in located within the boundary of the South Downs National Park so you can be assured of some stunning scenery just a few miles out of town. The Queen Elizabeth National Park is only 5 miles away by car; at over 260m above sea level it is one of the highest points in the area, offering distant views of The Solent to the south and rural Hampshire to the north.
There are a number of sporting facilities in the area. The nearest indoor swimming pool and gym is 500m away and there is an outdoor pool in the town centre (seasonal opening). There is also a 12 hole Pay and Play golf 1 mile away (club hire possible).
If you are seeking more culture and heritage based activities then the area has much to offer. In the town there is the Flora Twort Art Gallery and the newly opened Petersfield Museum, based in the former police station. Within a 20-30 minute drive you will be able to visit Jane Austin's house in Chawton, Gilbert White's house in Selborne and the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum at Singleton. We are also close to the cathedral cities of Winchester and Chichester and the historic dockyards in Portsmouth.
