Wherwell is a small, picturesque village and civil parish in the Test Valley district of Hampshire, in southern England. It sits in the valley of the chalk‑fed River Test, a classic trout and fly‑fishing water, and is surrounded by rolling farmland and lanes leading to nearby market towns such as Stockbridge and Andover.
The village has a long history - the site of a medieval nunnery whose lands changed hands after the Reformation - and retains a historic parish church, thatched cottages and a country‑house feel. Economically it remains largely rural, with farming and recreational fishing important, while socially it has a lively village community centred on local events, a pub and village facilities that attract walkers and visitors looking for a tranquil Hampshire experience.
