A vibrant town The picturesque market town of Andover lies within the Test Valley, 18 miles north-west of Winchester.

The imposing town hall with its Greek Doric style is a distinctive feature of the attractive high street. Here, you will find favourite retailers alongside coffee shops and restaurants, as well as a street market which takes place every Thursday and Saturday.

The historic Town Mills pub is a popular spot for a drink before a meandering walk beside the River Anton. Indeed, the area is flushed with green space, beauty spots and nature reserves, with the neighbouring Harewood Forest a particular highlight.

Andover boasts excellent indoor and outdoor sport and leisure facilities, with local football, rugby and cricket clubs. The Lights arts venue is central to the Andover’s lively entertainment scene. The Andover Museum and the Museum of the Iron Age provide insight into the town’s fascinating history.

and tourism. The Ministry of Defence is Andover’s largest employer and consequently demand for employees with mechanical, engineering and technology skills is high.

The rapidly expanding Walworth Business Park lies just west of Locksbridge Park. This 200-acre site provides a combination of factory distribution, retail and office facilities for a host of businesses and their 7,500 employees. Big name local employers include Twinings and Thompson International Publishers, as well financial institutions such as Simply Health, Lloyds Banking Group and Stannah Group.

settlement by standards of the day.

The town really came to prominence in the 18th century when it was a major stopping point on the main stagecoach route between Exeter, Salisbury and London. The industrial revolution brought new employment to Andover with the famous Taskers Waterloo Ironworks opening in the Anna Valley in 1815. As the town grew, it acquired new amenities and transport links including the Andover Junction station in 1854, a fire station and cottage hospital in 1877, a swimming pool in 1885 and the public library in 1897.
