Whitchurch
Whitchurch is a town in Hampshire, England. It is on the River Test, 13 miles (21 km) south of Newbury, Berkshire, 12 miles (19 kilometres) north of Winchester, 8 miles (13 km) eastern of Andover and also 12 miles (19 km) west of Basingstoke. Much of the town is a Conservation Area. Due to the quantity of wildlife in and near the River Test, its course and financial institutions are designated as Site of Special Scientific Interest. The West of England Main Line links the town's train station to London, and 2 main roads bypass the community (the A34, a major north-- south route, and the A303, a major east-- west course). The population is 8,962. The town is a growing area with a mix of houses as well as some light sector, and serves as a small commuter town to London (around 60 miles to the east) and also to a lesser degree Basingstoke and Andover. Newbury and Winchester, whilst close by, can not be gotten to by rail without significant detour (because the closure of Whitchurch Community train station in 1960) therefore commuting to these areas is mostly by cars and truck. Lynch Hill Park, a little housing development, was used in a TV advert for Roysters crisps as a result of its "normal" American appearance. The centre of the community is a roundabout known as The Square.
