Newtown is a small rural settlement in the borough of Test Valley, Hampshire, England, set in the chalk-country of south‑central England. The area is influenced by the presence of the famous chalk stream of the River Test and lies within easy reach of market towns such as Stockbridge and Andover, with rolling downland that abuts parts of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Historically agricultural, Newtown retains a rural character of farms, cottages and converted outbuildings; the local economy is still tied to farming, equestrian activity and countryside tourism (notably fly‑fishing on nearby streams), while many residents commute to larger towns. Social life is typical of small Test Valley villages - close‑knit, with limited on‑site amenities and reliance on surrounding communities for shops, schools and services.
