The peaceful hamlet of Stockbridge, one of the smallest in the United Kingdom and renowned for its great fly-fishing, is located in the middle of Test Valley halfway between Andover and Romsey. Here you'll find the oldest fishing club in England, Houghton Fishing Club. It is difficult to imagine that the town, which is surrounded by peaceful hills and undulating landscape, was previously referred to as a "rotten borough"; nearby Hampshire villages with charming churches, old-fashioned country inns, and the spectacular Test Way may also be discovered. A poetry trail comprising ten poems, set in stone, metal, and glass, is scattered throughout the town centre and poetry enthusiasts will also be impressed to learn that Stockbridge's beauty has inspired numerous poets. Accessible from here are also the magnificent gardens at Mottisfont Abbey, Houghton Lodge, and Longstock Water Gardens, making them ideal for a family day.
