Southampton
Please note: This route is operated by Flybe via Manchester.
Fly from Aberdeen Airport to Southampton - it may be the cruise capital of Europe, but there’s much more to Southampton than its role as a cruise ship and ferry embarkation point.
Walk the QE2 Mile
This famous stretch runs through the heart of the city, from the Cenotaph to Town Quay - and you’ll experience Southampton in all its guises, down the centuries. The Mile provides a link between relaxing green spaces, the new cultural quarter, the High Street, old town the historic waterfront and many more!
The new Cultural Quarter
Here you’ll find the SeaCity Museum, whose un-missable interactive exhibition, ‘Southampton’s Titanic Story’, brings to life the experiences of some of the local members of the 897-strong crew, as they prepare, embark on and experience the tragedy of the doomed ship’s fateful voyage. Close by are the City Art Gallery, Guildhall and the Civic Centre.
Winchester Cathedral
This is a magnificent, 1000-year-old architectural masterpiece, home to the 12th-century Winchester Bible, ‘The Jane Austen Story’ permanent exhibition, and offering cathedral tours, a children’s trail, refreshments and a gift shop. Located just 7 miles from Southampton.
Marwell Zoo and New Forest Wildlife Park
The charity-owned Marwell Zoo is home to more than 180 species of animals, including exotic and endangered species. Also join a park tour with the rail train and learn more about giraffes, hippos and other species. Another hotspot for animal lovers is the New Forest wildlife park. Here you can admire animals such as wolves or bison in beautiful natural settings.
