Andover

Located in the tranquil county of Hampshire, Andover is a mere 18miles west of Basingstoke, allowing for easy transport accessibility to its attractions. Andover is a stunning example of a British town, with many historical features sure to captivate your interest.

One of the few surviving buildings in Andover is the Rooksbury Mill, restored in 2003 following a fire that destroyed a large amount of the structure.

Rooksbury Mill once operated as a flour mill, but now stands as a gorgeous landmark for the town. Also in Andover is the RAF Andover base, a breathtaking example of contemporary British military power.

Andover makes a great base to explore the surrounding Hampshire countryside and is very accommodating to tourists who come to the area, with a variety of accommodation choices to choose from. Nearby are the attractions of The Hawk Conservancy Trust and Thruxton Motorsport Centre.
