Calshot Spit is in the perfect position for defending Southampton Water. Calshot Castle (surrounded by aircraft hangars) is a Tudor Fort that was built by Henry VIII in the 16th century using stone reused from Beaulieu Abbey. It was later fortified by the Victorians. During the World War I, Calshot provided Channel defence and a training base for pilots. In 1929 and 1931 Calshot was the venue of the famous Schneider Cup Trophy race and was the base of the Supermarine S6 seaplane. Calshot played an important role in the World War II and became home to the Sunderland Flying Boat. Find out more about the history of Calshot inside the Sunderland hangar.

Once a grand residence, this Grade II-listed palace is well worth exploring. Lying in the heart of the Hampshire town of Bishop's Waltham, the palace was first constructed in the 12th century, with many additions added in later centuries. In the 14th century, the palace was taken over by William of Wykeham, the Bishop of Winchester and Chancellor of England. He had the tower built, the great hall rebuilt and other extensions constructed. In the 17th century, the palace was severely damaged in the Civil War, with much of its materials scavenged for other construction work. Today, the site is managed by English Heritage and is free to explore.
