Basing House was a major Tudor palace and castle in the village of Old Basing in the English county of Hampshire. It once rivaled Hampton Court Palace in its size and opulence. Today only its foundations and earthworks remain.

Read All ReviewsVisited Basing House with disability and got the accessible parking easily and luckily. It is a place with a lot of historical interest. The grounds were much larger than we thought. Most of the areas of the house was accessible through wheelchair although there are some areas with limited access. Also accessible toilets were available at the house. Staff were very helpful to disabled visitors the most. Liked that. A great visit.
