Welcome to the Whitchurch Pub Guide
Whitchurch, a small Hampshire town nestling in the upper reaches of the Test valley is renowned for its variety and number of fine pubs ranging from historic coaching inns to traditional locals.
The Town gained its charter in 1247 and is now well-known for its famous working Silk Mill, trout in clear chalk waters, and its historical connections. Richard Adams author of Watership Down lives locally and the location of his story is just a few miles north. Lord Denning was a famous resident and Charles Kingsley, Water Babies author, visited.
The Town was also the scene of major 19th-century rioting when thousands took to the streets.
This led to the laws determining the right to hold peaceful demonstrations being granted! - much to the chagrin of many politicians of today!
The Town must have one of the highest number of pubs for its size.
All are very welcoming and can make for an interesting walk around the Town.
