Hampshire, administrative, geographic, and
historic county of south central England, bounded west by Dorset and
Wiltshire, north by Berkshire, east by Surrey and West Sussex, and south
by the English Channel. The administrative, geographic, and historic
counties cover somewhat different areas. The administrative county
comprises 11 districts: East Hampshire, Hart, New Forest, Test Valley,
the boroughs of Basingstoke and Deane, Eastleigh, Fareham, Gosport,
Havant, and Rushmoor, and the city of Winchester. The geographic county
comprises the whole of the administrative county plus the cities of
Portsmouth and Southampton, each of which is a unitary authority. The
historic county covers the entire geographic county, the unitary
authorities of Bournemouth and the Isle of Wight, and the borough of
Christchurch and parts of the district of East Dorset, which together
form the eastern edge of the administrative county of Dorset.
