Hampshire is a county in southern England.
Its main cities are the ports of Southampton, and Portsmouth, and the historical city of Winchester.
It lies to the south-west of London and is situated centrally on England's south coast. It borders the counties of Dorset, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Surrey and Sussex. The Isle of Wight lies a few miles offshore and was once administratively considered part of Hampshire, however today the island is officially a county in its own right.
The state of New Hampshire was named after this English county.
