==Geography== Test Valley covers some {{convert|250|sqmi|km2}} of western [[Hampshire]], stretching from boundaries with [[Southampton]] in the south to near [[Newbury, Berkshire|Newbury]] in the north. Test Valley is a predominantly rural area. It includes part of the [[North Wessex Downs]] [[Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty]]. The River Test is the centrepiece of the Test Valley; the river is a chalk stream of particular beauty known for its [[fishing]], [[salmon]] and [[trout]], which [[Lord Crickhowell]] (onetime chairman of the [[National Rivers Authority]]) said "should be treated as a great work of art or music". Stockbridge is home of the Houghton Fishing Club, an exclusive fishing club founded in 1822, which meets in the Grosvenor Hotel.
