Read More...Caroline and John and their children were very nice, and they prepared the exchange very carefully. We felt as if we were at home. They had a lovely home, very comfortable and ready to live a great exchange. The surroundings of Winchester are really nice. We discovered many places in lovely England. Caroline and John gave us great ideas of places to eat or visit. We really have a good memory of the exchange. They are such a nice family!

Descrizione del vicinato e dei paraggi
We live on the edge of Winchester - a historic city of 40,000 residents, about 60 miles south of London. London is an easy 55 minute train journey - why not visit a show or musical in the West End? We can help you arrange tickets if you wish. Many of the large museums (British Museum, Natural History Museum) have free entry. If you wish to travel by road, we are minutes from the M3 motorway which takes you to London in around an hour.
Our home is in Headbourne Worthy, a residential village about 2 miles north of Winchester. We have a couple of local shops, a post office, a farm shop, two pubs, recreation ground and children's play area all within walking distance.
Winchester's historic city centre has a good range of shops and restaurants. Our beautiful Cathedral is 1000 years old and after shopping in the lovely old high street, you can have a sandwich in the grounds. We have a new leisure centre with swimming pool, squash and badminton courts in town.

I nostri consigli su cosa non perdere in questa zona
We live in central southern England with good transport links to many areas. The M3 motorway is 5 mins away and the main train station is 2 miles away.
Nelson's Flag Ship HMS Victory (1759), King Henry VIII's flag ship the Mary Rose 1509) and HMS Warrior are at the naval dockyard in Portsmouth - 45 mins away - and well worth a day trip.
The Harry Potter film studio is just over an hour away - see the Hogwarts film sets and find out about the special effects.
The New Forest National Park is 20 miles to the west where ponies and cattle roam freely - a great place for cycling (bike hire available), walking, horse riding and picnic-ing.
The ancient stone circles at Stonehenge (3100 BC) and Avebury (2600 BC) are within an hour's drive - both are atmospheric and peaceful. You can reach the historic cities of Oxford, Salisbury (which has the tallest cathedral spire in the UK at 123m built in 1200), Chichester and Bath (visit the Roman Baths) for a day trip. Longleat Safari Park and Legoland at Windsor can also be easily reached in a day. More locally we have a theme park for children: Paulton's Park.
There are several stately homes nearby: Montacute House and Mottisfont Abbey (which has the national rose collection) as well as Jane Austen's home at Chawton. Marwell Zoo and several beaches can be easily reached. Visit Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour (the worlds largest natural harbour) and see red squirrels in the wild. The Jurassic coast of Dorset is 1.5 hours away - you can go fossil hunting at Lyme Regis.
We are 1 hour from Heathrow airport, 1.5 hours from Gatwick airport, 2.5 hours from Dover / Folkestone (for the Channel Tunnel) and 40 mins from Portsmouth (for the ferry to Caen).

Cosa ci piace, cosa non gradiamo… Ecco le regole in casa nostra.
We like active, outdoor holidays in areas with swimming.
We are a happy family with 4 well-behaved children who like areas with plenty of space, swimming and things to do. We are a non-smoking family. We are happy to look after gardens and most animals, but not dogs.
