Alton is a historic market town nestled in the northeast corner of Hampshire, surrounded by rolling countryside and steeped in character. It's one of those places where you can still sense its medieval roots, with a traditional high street, old coaching inns, and a quiet charm that never feels too sleepy. It's well connected but far enough from the hustle to offer a proper breather.

The town's history stretches back to Saxon times, and it's mentioned in the Domesday Book. Over the centuries, it developed as a key market town with strong links to the brewing industry, wool trade, and farming. One of its biggest claims to fame is its connection to Jane Austen—she lived in nearby Chawton, and Alton was her regular shopping and post town. There's a long-standing sense of community here, with layers of history built into the streets and buildings.

Today, Alton is a lively and friendly place, full of local character. The town centre has a good mix of shops, both independents and familiar names, as well as cafés, pubs and restaurants to suit most tastes. The Curtis Museum and Allen Gallery offer a glimpse into the area's past, while the Assembly Rooms often host shows and events. There's also a leisure centre, library, plenty of green spaces, and some lovely walks around the River Wey. The Mid Hants Railway, better known as the Watercress Line, starts here and is a real favourite for heritage train lovers.

Out and about, Hampshire is bursting with things to see and do. Jane Austen's House in Chawton is just down the road and draws visitors from all over the world. The South Downs National Park is right on the doorstep, ideal for walking, cycling or a quiet afternoon with a picnic. A short drive takes you to Winchester with its iconic cathedral and cobbled streets, or across to the coast for a bit of fresh sea air. Whether you fancy culture, countryside or coastline, it's all within reach.

Alton's transport links are decent. There's a train station in the town with direct services to London Waterloo, making it popular with commuters. The A31 runs past the town, connecting you to Farnham, Winchester and the wider road network. Buses run locally and regionally, and if you're travelling further afield, Southampton Airport is about 45 minutes away by car. It's handy without being hectic.

Hampshire as a county covers a bit of everything - coastal views, cathedral cities, forests, and plenty of little villages that seem untouched by time. There's a lot of pride in the local heritage, but it's not the sort of place that feels stuck in the past. It's a welcoming, varied county that doesn't try too hard to impress, yet somehow always does.
