Whitchurch is a town in Hampshire, England. It is on the River Test, 13 miles (21 kilometres) south of Newbury, Berkshire, 12 miles (19 kilometres) north of Winchester, 8 miles (13 kilometres) eastern of Andover as well as 12 miles (19 km) west of Basingstoke. Much of the town is a Sanctuary. Due to the amount of wild animals in as well as near the River Test, its training course and banks are assigned as Site of Special Scientific Interest. The West of England Main Line connects the town's railway station to London, as well as two main roads bypass the community (the A34, a major north-- southern course, and the A303, a major east-- west course). The population is 8,962. The town is an expanding area with a combination of suburbs and some light sector, and also functions as a tiny traveler town to London (about 60 miles to the east) and also to a lesser extent Basingstoke as well as Andover. Newbury and also Winchester, whilst close by, can not be gotten to by rail without considerable detour (given that the closure of Whitchurch Community train station in 1960) therefore commuting to these locations is mainly by vehicle. Lynch Hill Park, a tiny housing development, was made use of in a TV advert for Roysters crisps due to its "normal" American appearance. The centre of the community is a roundabout known as The Square.
