Wherwell is a small village and civil parish tucked into the valley of the River Test in Test Valley, Hampshire, England. Set among chalk downland and water meadows, it’s known for clear chalk‑streams that attract fly‑fishers and a variety of wildlife; the nearest market towns are Andover and Stockbridge.
The village retains a strong historic character, with the site and earthworks of a medieval Benedictine priory, surviving timber‑framed and thatched houses and the parish St Peter and St Paul church. The local economy is largely rural - farming, small businesses and a bit of countryside tourism tied to walking, angling and conservation - and the community is active in preserving its landscape and traditional village life.
