Places to take Americans

[Jillyanne]

Avebury stones are now sadly cordoned off as is stone henge, not like the time when you lot went and touched them or wrote strange stuff on them! Isle of Wight dinosaur museum! Marwell? Longleat?

[Tokyo-Saint]

Longstanton spice museum? Norfolk owl sanctuary?

[CB Saint]

Ringwood brewery tour - with tasting, Teach them what beer is about.

[Patrick Bateman]

Buckler's Hard

Beaulieu (village and motor museum/house/abbey)

Brockenhurst

Christchurch or further afield the Jurassic Coast

Winchester (Cathedral, Round Table etc.)

Tudor House (in Southampton - depending where you live, go on the Hythe Ferry)

Exbury Gardens

The historic dockyard (I know it's down there, but it is the only place I've EVER been there and it's good)

 

Loads of places to take them too. Americans love Oxford - maybe nip on there on the train from Southampton Central/Parkway - direct on Cross Country.

My American friend loved Bath and the Cotswolds - Bourton on the Water, Winchester and generally older towns

 

My mrs went on a weekend trip to Bourton on the water last year with my neighbour's mrs, they both came back raving about the place.

St Marys.

Took my American Mrs and her Dad to many places but suggest these are always impressive to our 'cousins';

 

Portsmouth - Victory, dockyard

Southampton - old walls

Deffo' Tudor House now with WW2 stuff.

New Forest

Bath

Stonehenge

Plymouth

Jolly Sailor

Winchester

 

A lot depend on their age. If they are young you could be fooked!!

If you do take them to see The Victory and The Mary Rose, and perhaps you should

then The Still and West in Old Portsmouth always used to be an excellent place to drink and eat good fish and chips.

I last went there a decade or so ago when my late father was still healthy, but it still looks good on Google.

When I was at Uni in 1970, we watched The Forrestall come into Portsmouth Harbour while drinking there-Awesome!!
