Houghton is a small village in the Test Valley district of Hampshire, England. It sits close to the River Test, one of the country’s best‑known chalk streams famed for trout fishing, and is a few miles from the market town of Stockbridge and the larger town of Andover.
The area is predominantly rural, with farms, equestrian activity and a modest tourist trade centred on fishing, walking and visits to nearby country houses such as Houghton Lodge and its gardens. Socially it retains a village feel - a tight‑knit community with local events - while the local economy mixes traditional agriculture and small businesses with commuting to regional centres like Winchester.
