Nicknamed the "Doughnut City" by virtue of its many roundabouts, and even mentioned in the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy for the same reason, Basingstoke is a prosperous town belonging to the county of Hampshire. Just a few miles away from the county towns of Reading and Winchester, the town of Basingstoke is part of the larger Borough of Basingstoke and Deane. Ninety percent of the area covered by the Borough of Basingstoke and Deane is rural, while the remaining area is made up of villages and countryside.

Basingstoke has a population of around 82,000 people, which are actually 150,000 if you include the suburbs which are part of the larger Borough of Basingstoke and Deane.
