Bassett Avenue is the high point of the Unitary Authority of Southampton, within the Historic and Ceremonial Counties of Hampshire. Most people will have passed right through the high point when approaching the city along the A33 Bassett Avenue having come off the M3. The high point is at the junction of Bassett Avenue and Bassett Health Avenue. Not much to see here so best done on the way to something more interesting
