Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

A new sports centre with pool, gym, spa and climbing wall has just opened in Alton, where there is also a main line train service to London Jane Austen's house is close by in the neighbouring village of Chawton, as is The Great House where her brother Edward lived. Both are open to the public, and you can fly hawks on the parkland. In the next village of Selborne is the beautiful home and gardens of Gilbert White, one of England's first naturalists. The village of Farringdon is divided into Upper and Lower Farringdon, the former having an excellent pub/restaurant - The Rose and Crown. The nearest theatres are in Guildford, Chichester and Basingstoke, all between 30 and 40 minutes drive. Within the same driving distance are three National Trust properties and the historic town of Winchester, where its Cathedral, zoo (at Marwell) and science centre is about 20 minutes away. A little further away is the historic Portsmouth Dockyard, home of HMS Victory and the Mary Rose Museum, well worth a day's visit. Within an hour's drive you can be at RHS Wisley - England's premier garden - or on a sandy beach at the seaside at East or West Wittering.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

Our house is set on a sloping site and is arranged over three floors, as such it is not suitable for the disabled or anyone who finds stair climbing difficult. We would prefer to swap with a small number of adults. We have exchanges arranged for the Summer of 2023, but are looking for coastal or city exchanges in 2024.
