Fareham is a town situated in Hampshire between Southampton and Portsmouth. It is close to the M27, which makes it easily accessible from far-off areas.

The history of Fareham goes back to the tenth century when is began to shape up as a major settlement on the highlands above the River Wallington. Shipbuilding was carried out during the sixteenth century in the Lower Quay region, which was later connected to the town centre using a crossing over Gilly Creek. During the late seventeenth century, the stores and buildings on the dockside of Fareham Creek served as hospitals for wounded and sick sailors, and were called “Hospital Yard”. During the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the town was economically lively when ships of up to 200 tons arrived here carrying imported timber, granite, coal and milling grains from Europe.

The present-day Fareham offers a range of tourist attractions including several High Street historic buildings, most featuring Georgian structural design. There are also a large number of entertainment spots, including a cinema and nightclub, says Vernon Pethard of www.newhomesforsale.co.uk, the UK's dedicated new homes property website.
