Test Valley, Borough district in Hampshire, England
Test Valley is a local government district in Hampshire that covers rural landscapes and urban centers linked by the River Test. The area includes towns, farmland, chalk hills, and woodlands across its territory.
This district was created in 1974 by combining four separate administrative areas into one unified local government unit. The merger brought together two established towns with their surrounding regions under shared management.
The area has strong ties to fishing and rural life, with the River Test playing a central role in local identity and outdoor pursuits. Communities gather around seasonal festivals and events that celebrate the countryside heritage.
The area is best explored by car since towns and attractions are spread across different locations within the district. Andover serves as the main administrative hub where you can find local services and visitor information.
The River Test has been renowned among fly-fishing enthusiasts for generations, drawing anglers from far afield. The Stockbridge area is particularly noted for its fishing community and deep-rooted angling traditions.
