Alton is a traditional market town in East Hampshire, set at the source of the River Wey and surrounded by attractive countryside, including the South Downs National Park and rolling chalk hills. The town has a long and layered history, with evidence of Roman, Saxon, and medieval settlement, and it developed into an important market and coaching town during the Georgian period. Alton is internationally known for its close association with Jane Austen, one of England’s most celebrated authors. Austen spent the final years of her life nearby in Chawton, where she wrote or revised many of her most famous novels. This literary heritage is a central part of Alton’s identity, reflected in museums, walking trails, festivals, and cultural events that attract visitors from around the world. The town centre combines historic architecture with modern amenities, featuring independent shops, cafés, traditional pubs, and a weekly market. Alton also has a strong community feel, supported by local schools, cultural venues, and recreational facilities. The nearby Watercress Line, a preserved steam railway, adds to the town’s charm and connects it to Hampshire’s railway heritage.
