This delightful town lies
on the trout-filled River Test close to the
Danebury Iron Age hill fort, one of the
best-studied in Britain.
The prehistoric structure was built around
500BC as a significant Celtic town but may
have been abandoned soon after the arrival of
Roman invaders.
Stockbridge Down, owned by the National Trust,
is a haven for chalk-loving flowers and
insects.
A short distance from the town is Marsh Court,
one of the few surviving English properties
built from chalk. |
