<p>Hampshire local and busy businesswoman, Tiggy Bradshaw is the owner and Managing Director of <a href="https://hants.muddystilettos.co.uk/little-black-book/directory/access-care-nationwide/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Access Care</a>, a Live-In Care agency near Andover. She also has a high street and online boutique, O&amp;P Stockbridge.</p>



<p>When she’s not juggling business lives, you’ll find Tiggy at home in a little village just outside Winchester with her husband with her now grown-up children – currently in the process of flying the nest – and her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Or you might find her out and about in these favourite Hampshire places, close to home, work and down by the coast. </p>



<p>Ready? Here&#8217;s Tiggy&#8217;s virtual Hampshire tour.</p>

<p>Chris Evans’ festival of music, cars and more at Laverstoke Park Farm over the August Bank Holiday weekend is a favourite of Tiggy’s. “I adore CarFest. I&#8217;ve spent many a great weekend there with a bottle of vino, good friends and fab music. It’s all for a good cause which makes it an absolute win in my book.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stockbridge</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="667" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/hants/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2020/07/Stockbridge.jpg" alt="Stockbridge" class="wp-image-18996" srcset="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/hants/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2020/07/Stockbridge.jpg 1000w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/hants/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2020/07/Stockbridge-300x200.jpg 300w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/hants/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2020/07/Stockbridge-720x480.jpg 720w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/hants/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2020/07/Stockbridge-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>



<p>The pretty Test Valley town of Stockbridge is where Tiggy Bradshaw has her boutique, O&amp;P Stockbridge (<a href="https://www.oplondon.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">O&amp;P London</a> online) – and is home to a few of her favourite haunts. </p>



<p>“My first school, Marsh Court (now closed) lurks on the hillside. You can catch a glimpse of the splendorous chalk building as you meander along the water meadows with your four-legged friends on a fine day. </p>

<p>&#8220;After, I like to head back to the high street to peruse the many great shops like <a href="https://hants.muddystilettos.co.uk/little-black-book/directory/cleverly-wrapped-stockbridge/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleverly Wrapped</a> and <a href="https://www.georgeclarkstockbridge.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">George Clarke.</a> Munch a great lunch at <a href="https://pregodeli.co.uk/food" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Prego</a> or get a coffee at <a href="https://kudoscoffee.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kudos</a>. Get a deli stock up at <a href="https://www.thymeandtidesdeli.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Thyme &amp; Tides</a>. And go for a sundowner at <a href="https://thegreyhoundonthetest.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Greyhound on the Test</a>. Perfect.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://www.the-fox.pub/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Fox</a>, Crawley</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="667" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/hants/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2023/08/The-Fox-Crawley-1.jpg" alt="The Fox Inn Crawley Hampshire Winchester good pubs" class="wp-image-31714" srcset="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/hants/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2023/08/The-Fox-Crawley-1.jpg 1000w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/hants/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2023/08/The-Fox-Crawley-1-800x534.jpg 800w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/hants/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2023/08/The-Fox-Crawley-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/hants/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2023/08/The-Fox-Crawley-1-787x525.jpg 787w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>



<p>A foodie pub with rooms in a real character building, <a href="https://www.the-fox.pub/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Fox</a> in the village of Crawley, near Winchester, has loads of local produce on the menu. Handily, for Tiggy, it also happens to be her local: “A lovely meal, good wine and a walk away – perfect.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://hants.muddystilettos.co.uk/best-places-to-live/hampshire-iow/lymington/">Lymington</a> and the New Forest</h2>

<p>Come the summertime, Tiggy likes to head south to the Hampshire coast. &#8220;Lymington is awesome. I love to visit <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thecellarlymington" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Cellar wine bar</a> before hopping on the rib over to <a href="https://hants.muddystilettos.co.uk/little-black-book/directory/hut-colwell-bay/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Hut in Colwell Bay</a> on the Isle of Wight for a boozy lunch with chums. If we have the energy, it’s off to <a href="https://hants.muddystilettos.co.uk/little-black-book/directory/pig-hotel-brockenhurst/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Pig at Brockenhurst</a> for dinner.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://hants.muddystilettos.co.uk/best-places-to-live/hampshire-iow/winchester/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Winchester</a></h2>

<p>Just a short hop in a taxi from her home, Tiggy loves spending time in Winchester. &#8220;I can often be found mooching in <a href="https://hants.muddystilettos.co.uk/little-black-book/directory/hb-style-winchester/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">H&amp;B Style</a> lifestyle boutique and getting coiffured at <a href="https://www.lordhairsalon.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lord Hair Salon</a>, where my fave Jamie tends my tresses. I also like an evening out at <a href="https://www.everymancinema.com/venues-list/x0711-everyman-winchester/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Everyman</a>. It&#8217;s a wonderful cinema for snuggling up and watching a movie with a good glass of wine and some honey-roasted cashew nuts. </p>
