Review of South

The South of England is a large region consisting of West Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Surrey.

The major urban areas of the region include Portsmouth, Southampton, Bournemouth and Reading. The region boasts some wonderful coastline and beaches including Bournemouth, Poole and the Isle of Wight. Popular from Victorian times as a holiday resort, the Isle of Wight is known for its natural beauty and as home to the Royal Yacht Squadron at Cowes, a town that hosts a world famous annual regatta.

It also is home to the famous ports of Southampton and Portsmouth. In addition, the area is home to several wooded areas including Bracknell Forest and the New Forest in Hampshire. The New Forest is an area that includes the largest remaining tracts of unenclosed pasture land, heathland and old-growth forest in the South of England. The South of England is a very prosperous area with many high technology companies along the M4 motorway corridor.

George Wimpey and RAF Air Command are both in High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire.
