During the 18th century the town was an important stop-over route for stagecoaches between London, Salisbury and Exeter yet the nearby Iron Age settlement of Danebury Hill Fort and the Roman remains of the Fullerton Mosaic provide insights into Andover’s more ancient past.
The Andover Museum and Museum of the Iron Age explore this fascinating history in detail while the mosaics of the Andover Time Ring and the colourful Test Valley Tapestry pay modern tribute to Andover’s heritage.
The Museum of Army Flying at Middle Wallop outlines the important role Andover played in two World Wars and the town’s RAF links while there’s more history to explore at nearby Whitchurch Silk Mill and Highclere Castle.
