To promote opportunities for understanding and enjoyment of its special qualities

It is the eighth national park in England (or ninth including the Broads Authority, which has status equivalent to a national park), the first in the south-east of England and the first to be created for nearly 50 years.

The National Park lies mainly in south-west Hampshire – from east of the Avon Valley to Southampton Water and from the Solent coast to the edge of the Wiltshire chalk downs.
