Places to stay in Havant
Havant was famous long ago for producing the parchment on which the Magna Carta was signed, and its location on the fringes of The South Downs make it a home to one of the world's largest spring water supplies. Indeed, Havant parchment was renowned for its whiteness and this was due to the chalk-filtered water used during its manufacture. Havant town centre, shown here with its regular Market, sits close to the coast, and on the edge of the rolling countryside that is The South Downs. Surrounding Havant is a mix of towns, villages and seaside resorts including Portsmouth, Southsea, Hayling Island, Bedhampton, Purbrook, Waterlooville, Horndean, Rowlands Castle and Emsworth.
