M3 Junction 8

Where is Junction 8?

Junction 8 of the M3 is where you leave for the A303 to head south-west towards Stonehenge and the West Country, or stay on the M3 for Winchester and Southampton. It comes just 0.8 miles after Junction 7, with Junction 9 at Winchester 11.3 miles further south.

Coming off here

There are a couple of pubs nearby at Dummer, The Queen Inn and The Wheatsheaf, which could make a good stop if you're heading down the A303. But there's no major town close by and no fuel.

Where to stop

You're much better off coming off at Junction 6 or 7 and heading towards Basingstoke, or pushing on to Fleet services if you're northbound, or Winchester services if you're southbound.
