Stockbridge is a compact, attractive market town in Test Valley, Hampshire, England, sitting prettily on the banks of the River Test. The river is a classic chalk stream famed for clear water and trout, so the town has a long association with fly‑fishing, watercress beds and riverside walks; a small stone bridge and a narrow high street of flint and brick buildings give the place a distinctly historic riverside character.
Historically a market and coaching settlement, Stockbridge today supports a mixed local economy of tourism, angling services, agriculture and independent shops, galleries and cafés, and it attracts walkers following the Test Way as well as day visitors from nearby Winchester and Andover. Socially it feels village‑scale and community‑minded, with occasional local fairs and events that reflect its rural, outdoorsy culture.
