Hotels Basingstoke England Cheap Basingstoke Hotels and Tourist GuideOften mistaken for a new town, Basingstoke's 20th-century development belies an ancient settlement with several historical places of interest. Of particular importance are the ruins of Basing House, which was England's largest Tudor residence before Cromwell's armies razed it in 1645. The Vyne, a 16th-century country house in Sherborne St John, escaped such a fate and remains as impressive as ever. It's situated at the centre of an expansive estate, which includes lakes, meadows, woods, and wetlands populated by swans and redshanks. The Milestones Museum, one mile west of the old town centre, captures Basingstoke's essence in a nutshell. Its huge modern shell houses a recreated Victorian world, complete with a network of streets with shops, a village green and even a working pub. Past industrial companies, including local vehicle manufacturers like Thornycroft and Taskers of Andover, are also immortalised. Back in the town proper, the central Churchill Way is home to the majority of contemporary concrete enlargements. Most prominent is Festival Place, a large shopping centre housing 165 stores, a 10-screen cinema, the Liquid Nightclub, a sports centre, and even the town library. Across the street is the Leisure Park, which offers ice skating, swimming, bowling and bingo facilities. If you need find some where to stay in Basingstoke this is the place to book your hotel room.
