Hook is a small town and civil parish within the Hart district of northern Hampshire, England. It is situated 6.2 miles east of Basingstoke and 36 miles northeast of Southampton, on the A30 national route, just north of Junction 5 of the M3 motorway. London is 41 miles (66 km) northeast of the town.
In 2011, Hook had a population of 7,770 residents. Hook railway station has direct rail links to both London Waterloo and Basingstoke with indirect routes to Reading, Salisbury and Southampton. Rail services are provided by South Western Railway.
There is a significant business community in the town, with the large Bartley Wood Business Park situated less than 1 km from the town centre. It is the location of the operational headquarters of the United Kingdom's largest cable television provider, Virgin Media, formerly NTL and Telewest. Other companies located in Hook are BMW Group Financial Services, Lenovo, Serco, Trimble Navigation and HP. Hook is also home to a mid-sized Tesco supermarket. Between 2004 and 2006, Hook expanded eastwards with the development of the Holt Park residential district.
Until the 18th century only a few scattered farms could be found in the area, but small hamlets did not begin to appear until inns sprung up to serve travellers. Hook was located on the main London to Exeter stagecoach route. In the late eighteenth century a turnpike road was constructed to aid the navigation of the steep Scures Hill, to the west of the village. In 1883 Hook railway station was constructed, and the village began to grow with railway workers and commuters settling in Hook.
There is the main line rail station mentioned above and direct access to the M3 motorway, as well as the straight route parallelling the Roman road the A30 connecting local towns such as Basingstoke and Yateley. Southampton Airport is 35 mi (56 km) to the south and London Heathrow Airport is 33 mi (53 km) away to the northeast. The far smaller Blackbushe Airport municipal air facility is 6.5 mi (10.5 km) to the east, near Yateley. Many residents commute to the larger local towns of Basingstoke, Winchester, Reading, Camberley, Fleet and Farnborough, with some travelling further afield to Southampton, Bracknell and London.

Places to see in ( Lee on the Solent - UK )
Lee-on-the-Solent, often referred to as Lee-on-Solent, is a small seaside district within the Borough of Gosport in Hampshire, England about five miles west of Portsmouth. The area is located on the coast of the Solent. It is primarily a residential area, with an upsurge of mostly local visitors in summer, but is well known as the former home to the Royal Naval Air Station HMS Daedalus (renamed as HMS Ariel from 1959 to 1965).
The district gained its name in the 19th century, during attempts to develop the area into a seaside resort. The area had been referenced long before this, referred to as Lee and numerous variations, including Lebritan. Early impetus for the district's development came from Charles Edmund Newton Robinson, who persuaded his father, John Charles Robinson, art curator and collector, to fund the buying of land.
Lee-on-the Solent has had a long association with aviation. Seaplane trials took place at Lee-on-the-Solent as early as 1915. A base for seaplane training was established in 1917 on the former RNAS Lee-on-Solent, formerly HMS Daedalus, site.
In 1935 the Lee Tower complex was built on the seafront next to the old pier and railway station. It was designed by architects Yates, Cook & Derbyshire, and comprised a white v-shaped Art Deco building with a 120-foot (37 m) tower. The complex housed a cinema, ballroom and restaurant, as well as a viewing platform at the tower's peak. The complex was demolished in 1971 by Gosport Borough Council, with its land now used for the promenade and remembrance gardens.
The views out to sea from the cliffs at Marine Parade are forever changing and are always interesting. From a vantage point on the grassy banks, it is possible to see shipping movements of large container ships and cruisers into Southampton and Portsmouth, sailing boats, ferries and of course the backdrop of the Isle of Wight. The seafront on Marine Parade East is where the Club House is situated for the Lee on the Solent Sailing Club LOSSC.
At the signal station, where the racing starts and finishes can be found a smaller galley that can provide light snacks and soft drinks for the people involved in racing or training of adults and youngsters at the weekend. It is a RYA accredited Sailing School and is open to visitors and day sailors alike. Boats can be hired if you would like to get on the water during hot summers.
On Marine Parade West main sea front stands the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's Lee-on-Solent Memorial erected to commemorate the 1,926 men of the Fleet Air Arm who died in various parts of the world in World War II and have no known grave.

On our last day in England, we went down to Lee-on-the-Solent, to a place we have been to many times before, but has now changed its name and had a complete refurbishment.

Gosport to Lee-on-Solent - Solent Way - Weekend Walk 34
Stage 3 of the Solent Way, from the Gosport side of Portsmouth Harbour to Lee on Solent, via Haslar's Naval Bases and Marina, former hospital and prison, forts Monckton and Gilkicker, Browndown, and the coastline of Stokes Bay at Alverstoke. Apologies for the wind noise - I'm working on a solution. Cotton wool over the mic helps somewhat. Apologies too for the dust into the sun - it's not on the lens but inside...
Solent Way - Lee-on-Solent to Warsash - Weekend Walk 35
Continuing the Solent Way after a break for winter, this is the fourth stage. I started around 10am from Lee on Solent, past Hill Head, Titchfield Haven, Meon Shore, Brownwich Cliffs, Chilling Cliffs, Hook, and on to Warsash. From just north of the village, the Solent Way goes via ferry to Hamble, but I stopped today on the eastern shore. On the way I saw dogs (many), jetskis, birds, helicopters, the Isle of Wight, the nature reserve, erodind cliffs, fawley power station, oil refinery, and the village of Warsash.

Places to see in ( Portsmouth - UK ) Portsmouth Harbour
Places to see in ( Portsmouth - UK ) Portsmouth Harbour
Portsmouth Harbour is a large natural harbour in Hampshire, England. Geographically Portsmouth Harbour is a ria: formerly it was the valley of a stream flowing from Portsdown into the Solent. The city of Portsmouth lies to the east on Portsea Island, and Gosport to the west on the mainland. At its north end is Portchester Castle, of Roman origin and the first fortress built to protect the Portsmouth Harbour .
The mouth of the Portsmouth Harbour provides access to the Solent. It is best known as the home of the Royal Navy, HMNB Portsmouth. Because of its strategic location on the south coast of England, protected by the natural defence of the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth Harbour has since the Middle Ages been the home to England's (and later Britain's) navy. The narrow entrance, and the forts surrounding it gave it a considerable advantage of being virtually impregnable to attack from the sea. Before the fortifications were built the French burned Portsmouth in 1338. During the civil war parliamentary forces were able to carry out a successful cutting-out expedition within the Portsmouth Harbour and capture the six-gunned Henrietta Marie.
In modern times, the Portsmouth Harbour has become a major commercial ferry port, with regular services to Le Havre, France, Cherbourg, France, St Malo, France, The Channel Islands and the Isle of Wight. There is a passenger ferry to Gosport. It is also a major area for leisure sailing. In 2006 the Gunwharf Quays development, including the Spinnaker Tower, was opened on the site of HMS Vernon (a former naval shore establishment).

Hovercraft Museum and a Ride from Ryde to Southsea
The Hovercraft Museum, located at Lee on the Solent, is operated by volunteers. I was told there are 37 of them aged from 14 to 86. They do an incredible job and deserve all the support they can get in preserving, against considerable odds, this Great British Invention. The second part of the video is a ride from Ryde, Isle of Wight to Southsea.

Small planes and helicopter | Lee on Solent
A lovely surprise, discovering Lee on Solent airfield. A small airfield neighbouring The Solent on the South coast of England where small planes and helicopters regularly take off and land. There is a small café on-site with indoor and outdoor seating perfect for taking some time out to watch the planes.

You can still take this cruise that I filmed over a decade ago with The Gosport Ferry Co, visiting Cowes, The Hamble, Southampton Docks etc. It is high time that they got me to make a new one!
