Andover, nestled within the Test Valley district of Hampshire, is a historic market town with a rich heritage dating back to Saxon times. The attractive high street features narrow walkways and 18th-century buildings that once played a key role as an inn stop for coaches bound for London, Southampton, and Oxford. The area is home to prehistoric earthworks and ancient charters, with its earliest known charter granted in 1175.
Andover boasts a thriving arts and entertainment venue, The Lights, and hosts a vibrant series of free live events called Andover Live. Streets markets are held every Thursday and Saturday in the high street, and a diverse range of bed and breakfast accommodation is available. As a center of a large agricultural district, the town is known for manufacturing, including watercress farming, flour mills, and agricultural equipment. The population of Andover was 50,887 in the 2021 Census.
The town's heritage is celebrated through the Andover Time Ring, featuring historical events, and poetry trails reflecting on the high street and River Anton.
