Basing House

Hampshire

(Good)

Situated in the village of Old Bas­ing, Bas­ing House was once a Tu­dor palace and castle. Largely destroyed after a two-year siege by troops of Ol­i­ver Crom­well (1599 – 1658), the site now includes a secret tunnel, a restored 17th-century garden, and a spectacular barn.

Bus
The trading names of bus operators often change over time; in all instances, we use the trading name in effect at the time of travel. Sim­i­larly, route numbers and branding are also subject to change; again, we use the route number and branding in effect at the time.

Route
When we list a town, city, etc. in FULL CAP­I­TALS, this indicates that the full bus route starts / ends here. If we list a town, city, etc. with only an In­i­tial Cap­i­tal letter, this indicates that the full bus route starts / ends at some point before / after this.

Departure
