River Anton River Anton rises in Andover and flows southwards for approximately 8 miles (13 km) to meet the River Test near Chilbolton. Principal tributary of the Anton, the Pillhill Brook, joins the river at Upper Clatford.

Chilbolton Observatory The Chilbolton Observatory is a facility for atmospheric and radio research. It is located near Stockbridge in Hampshire. The facilities are run by the STFC Radio Communications Research Unit of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.

Andover, Hampshire Andover is located on the River Anton, a major source of the Test. The town is situated alongside the major A303 trunk road at the eastern end of Salisbury Plain. It is 14 miles (23 km) NNW of Winchester, 35 miles (56 km) north of Southampton and 65 miles WSW of London.

Pillhill Brook Pilhill Brook is a 9.9-kilometre-long (6.2 mi) tributary of the River Anton in Hampshire. It is a chalk stream known for its trout fishing.

Bury Hill Bury Hill is the site of a former Iron Age hillfort about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) southwest of the centre of Andover, Hampshire. The site was used well into the Roman era and was used as a camp by King Canute in 1016. The banks and the ditch are apparently in good condition, although fairly heavily wooded. The centre is left to grass and very secluded, but is not accessible to the public.

Dead Man’s Plack Dead Man’s Plack is a Grade-II listed 19th-century monument to Æthelwald, Ealdorman of East Anglia, who, according to legend, was killed in 963 near the site where it stands by his rival in love, King Edgar I. Monument was erected in 1825 at Harewood Forest, between the villages of Picket Twenty and Longparish, Hampshire, by Lt Col. William Iremonger.
