Basingstoke

Basingstoke, is a large, prosperous and modern town, with a modern road system and major in and out of town shopping areas.

There is a lot of housing, yet the surrounding countryside is pleasant.

The town is the headquarters of some of the UK's largest companies, and the Automobile Association.

A bit lacking in culture, but has cinemas, The Haymarket Theatre, and  The Anvil for entertainment as well as nightclubs and pubs.

Visit Milestones, a new "active " museum.
