Whitchurch is a town in Hampshire, England. It gets 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 and 12 miles (19 kilometres) west of Basingstoke. Much of the community is a Sanctuary. As a result of the amount of wildlife in as well as near the River Test, its course and also financial institutions are designated as Site of Special Scientific Interest. The West of England Main Line links the community's train station to London, and two highways bypass the community (the A34, a major north-- southern route, as well as the A303, a significant east-- west course). The population is 8,962. The community is an expanding area with a combination of houses and also some light industry, as well as acts as a small commuter town to London (around 60 miles to the eastern) and to a lower degree Basingstoke and also Andover. Newbury as well as Winchester, whilst nearby, can not be gotten to by rail without substantial detour (given that the closure of Whitchurch Community railway station in 1960) and so commuting to these places is mainly by auto. Lynch Hill Park, a small housing development, was used in a TV advert for Roysters crisps due to its "common" American appearance. The centre of the town is a roundabout called The Square.
