River Hamble Country Park

About

River Hamble Country Park is a place to play, picnic, relax and explore. Have a ramble around our ancient woodland and enjoy seasonal changes - from bluebells in spring to fantastic autumn colours. Discover the abundant wildlife on offer, including curlews along the river and skylarks in the fields, plus an array of wildflowers, insects and reptiles. 

The River Hamble is what makes our country park so unique. There's not only stretches of scenic shoreline to wander along and explore, but plenty of opportunities to get out on the water too. You can enjoy stand up paddleboarding, kayaking and crabbing, and visit play areas and our dog-friendly exercise field. River Hamble Country Park is a wonderful place to explore everything the area has to offer.  

The Barn 

'The Barn has everything you need to enjoy a well-deserved rest from outdoor adventures. Grab a spot of lunch, relax and take in your surroundings inside our eco-friendly visitor centre and cafe. The Barn offers a tempting menu of hot and cold drinks, cakes, freshly-made sandwiches and much more. 

There’s also indoor and outdoor seating, accessible toilets and baby changing facilities. 

You’ll find a dog wash to help rinse off muddy paws and electric charging points in designated parking bays for electric vehicles, just outside the building.
