Hampshire
The county has an area of 3,769 km2 (1,455 sq mi) and had an estimated population of 1,920,959 in 2024. Southampton is located in the south and the city of Portsmouth in the south-east; both are part of a larger conurbation. A second conurbation in the north-east includes Farnborough and Aldershot and extends into Berkshire and Surrey.
The remainder of the county is rural, and its principal settlements include Basingstoke in the north, Andover in the north-west, and Winchester in the centre. For local government purposes Hampshire comprises a non-metropolitan county, with eleven districts, and two unitary authority areas: Portsmouth and Southampton. The county historically contained the towns of Bournemouth and Christchurch, which are now in Dorset, and the Isle of Wight.
