Romsey lies in the heart of the Hampshire countryside just eight miles from Southampton and eleven from Winchester. It is an ancient market town where the Norman Abbey dominates the medieval streets in the historic centre.

Near the town are two stately homes. Broadlands just outside the town has been the home to Lord Palmerston, famed for passing the bill to build forts around Portsmouth Harbour, and Lord Louis Mountbatten. Five miles north west of Romsey is Mottisfont Abbey whose gardens are renowned for their national collections of old fashioned roses.

Landscape Romsey is at the heart of the Test Valley which follows the line of the River Test. The clear waters of the chalk stream of the River Test are particularly well renowned for its trout fishing. The River Test flows for twenty miles in Hampshire through the villages of Stockbridge and Romsey.
