There's a good choice of parks, the tranquil Lakeside Nature Reserve dotted with streams, rivers, ponds and a play park for the kids, plus long walks along the Basingstoke Canal on the doorstep. Aldershot Lido, which opened in 1930, is great for an outdoor dip. Winter sports fans can hone their skills at Aldershot's dry ski slope. And, of course, the town is on the doorstep of the Surrey Hills and the South Downs for days out hiking, cycling and horse riding.

Things to do:

The pedestrianised town centre has a range of useful shops, supermarkets, pubs, coffee shops and restaurants. There is a Thursday street market, and Rushmoor council hopes eventually to introduce a Monday market, too. For more choice on the eating, drinking and shopping front, pretty, Georgian Farnham is a six-minute hop on the train, while the shops, restaurants and cafes of Guildford are 21 minutes away.
