Your trip to Hampshire past will take you as far back as the age of the Victorians, with cobbled streets, a replica Victorian school room – complete with chalkboard and teacher’s desk – and even a working printing press.
From a working pub to a play space for under fives, costumed characters, interactive displays and more, there is so much for everyone to enjoy at Milestones!
Basingstoke Canal: A relaxing cruise on the John Pinkerton II – exclusive use for a 2.5 hour cruise from Odiham in the peaceful surrondings of the Basingstoke canal.
The Basingstoke Canal is navigable from its junction with the River Wey Navigation at Woodham to King John’s Castle, Odiham, shortly before Greywell Tunnel. This covers a distance of 32.1 miles (50.2 km) and there are 29 locks. The canal is derelict from Odiham to its original terminus in Basingstoke.
