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 kilometres) eastern of Andover and 12 miles (19 kilometres) west of Basingstoke. Much of the town is a Sanctuary. As a result of the amount of wildlife in and near the River Test, its course and also banks are designated as Site of Special Scientific Interest. The West of England Main Line connects the community's train station to London, and 2 highways bypass the town (the A34, a significant north-- southern course, and the A303, a significant east-- west route). The population is 8,962. The town is a growing area with a combination of suburbs and also some light industry, and also functions as a tiny commuter community to London (approximately 60 miles to the eastern) and to a lesser degree Basingstoke and Andover. Newbury as well as Winchester, whilst close by, can not be gotten to by rail without substantial detour (considering that the closure of Whitchurch Town train station in 1960) therefore travelling to these areas is mostly by auto. Lynch Hill Park, a small housing development, was made use of in a TV advert for Roysters crisps as a result of its "normal" American appearance. The centre of the town is a roundabout known as The Square.
