An Introduction Hampshire County Council's Countryside Service is responsible for the management of over 70 countryside sites covering more than 9,000 acres. Outdoor centres are situated mainly along the Hampshire coastline, but we also have two mountain centres in the Brecon Beacons National Park, South Wales.
All centres offer a wide variety of courses for all levels of outdoor activity and education.
In Hampshire, there are over 3,000 rights of way. The County Council, as highway authority, is responsible for maintaining these routes and promoting their use. The Countryside Service aims to protect and conserve Hampshire's countryside sites by careful management, and at the same time, to provide and extend facilities and access to enable our visitors to enjoy this superb countryside heritage. Our sites are staffed by skilled and dedicated rangers, site managers and rights of way teams who will be pleased to help in any way. This page produced by the Hantsweb Team .
