Van Hire Petersfield: Exploring the South Downs

Van Hire Petersfield: Exploring the South Downs

Petersfield is a fantastic base for exploring the stunning South Downs National Park. With its rolling hills, picturesque villages, and breathtaking views, the South Downs offers something for everyone. And with convenient van hire (and car hire!) from Hometown Vehicle Hire in Petersfield, discovering this beautiful region has never been easier!


Why Choose Van Hire for Exploring the South Downs?

While a car is great for day trips, a van can offer even more flexibility and space, especially if you're planning a longer adventure or bringing along extra gear. Here's why van hire can enhance your South Downs experience:

  • Space for Equipment: Whether you're hiking, cycling, camping, or enjoying a picnic, a van provides ample space for all your equipment.

  • Group Travel: Travel together with friends or family in a spacious van, making your South Downs adventure even more enjoyable.

  • Flexibility: Explore at your own pace and create your own itinerary. Visit those hidden gems and charming villages that are harder to reach by public transport.

  • Comfort: Enjoy a comfortable ride, especially on longer journeys.

  • Queen Elizabeth Country Park: Just a short drive from Petersfield, this park offers stunning views, walking trails, a visitor centre, and even a cafe. It's perfect for a day out with the family or a scenic hike. Pack a picnic and enjoy the panoramic vistas!

  • The pretty village of East Meon: Nestled in the Meon Valley, East Meon is a quintessentially English village with a historic church, a charming pub (The Izaak Walton), and beautiful countryside walks. Park up and explore the village on foot.

  • Butser Hill: For breathtaking panoramic views across the South Downs, head to Butser Hill. It's a popular spot for hiking and kite flying, and on a clear day, you can even see the Isle of Wight. The climb to the top is worth it for the views!

  • The South Downs Way: If you're planning a longer hiking or cycling trip, consider using Petersfield as a starting point for exploring sections of the South Downs Way. Our vans are ideal for transporting bikes or camping gear.


Tips for Exploring the South Downs by Van:

  • Plan Your Route: Research your chosen destinations and plan your route in advance.

  • Pack Essentials: Bring along everything you need for your adventure, including food, drinks, appropriate clothing, and any activity-specific gear.

  • Check the Weather: Be prepared for changing weather conditions.

  • Drive Safely: Be mindful of narrow country roads and other drivers.

  • Respect the Environment: Leave no trace and help preserve the beauty of the South Downs.
