Just next door to The Cart House, Bishop’s Waltham makes for an easy day of good food, local history and countryside.

Start with coffee and something freshly baked from Hoxton Bakehouse, explore the ruins of Bishop’s Waltham Palace and the historic town trail, stop for lunch at The Crown Inn, then finish with a peaceful walk through The Moors.

Autumn in Hampshire is all about the little things.

Blackberries ripening in the hedgerows, seasonal bakes from local favourites, countryside walks through the Meon Valley and cosy evenings back at The Cart House.

It’s a lovely time to slow down, explore locally and enjoy Hampshire as the seasons begin to change. 🍂

Summer isn’t quite over yet! 🤗

Along the Hampshire coast, sea temperatures stay close to their warmest into early September, making it a lovely time to squeeze in one more beach day, coastal walk or even a sea swim before autumn properly arrives.

For an easy day out from The Cart House, head to Hill Head for a quieter stretch of shingle beach and views across the Solent, or Lee-on-the-Solent for a longer seafront wander and classic coastal feel.

Then it’s back to the countryside by evening!
