Welcome to Test Valley
Welcome to Test Valley, a wonderful landscape in the north-west of Hampshire.

It’s a peaceful place where you can slow down and really unwind as you follow the River Test, one of England’s greatest trout rivers, as it twists and turns through water meadows, woods, villages and towns.
Andover, Romsey and Stockbridge are the main towns in Test Valley, each with their own individual character. Andover dominated by its Guildhall, Romsey clustered around the Abbey and award winning Stockbridge with its scenic main street.
