Welcome to my back garden. I'm fortunate that there are some wonderful tourist attractions and some beautiful scenery here in South East Hampshire, whichever way I look.

Hampshire's County Town is Winchester - former capital of the ancient region of Wessex, and home to Hampshire County Council. Indeed, the best single source of information about Hampshire is, without a doubt, their massive website Hantsweb.

If you're visiting our site from afar, our photos will give you a little taster of this corner of England.

If you're from overseas enjoy the pronunciation delights of Hampshire with our popup poem!

When I formed hago it was originally called the Havant Area Guitar Orchestra. There's a whistle-stop tour of Havant and a cheesy bonus featured about Bedhampton UFOs and the world's smallest shopping centre, in the Museum here...
