Hamble

The village that lies just five miles South East of Southampton and officially known as Hamble-le-Rice has always existed principally to serve the sailing community; a result of its naturally sheltered moorings and “all states of the tide” direct access to the Solent. From leaving the marina you can be under full sail or powering through open water within minutes.

The picturesque village centred around the church of St Andrew has a number of traditional pubs and more contemporary restaurants. A well stocked branch of the Co-op plus local newsagent and several chandleries take care of necessities. A good farmhouse-style breakfast can also be easily found.
