Situated on the River Anton, a tributary of the Test, the historic market town of Andover boasts two museums in the same building. Andover Museum, telling the story of the town and surrounding area, opened in 1981, and it was joined in 1986 by the Museum of the Iron Age, which tells the story of nearby Danebury hillfort. Grade II listed, the museum building started life as a Georgian townhouse in the mid 18th century. Evidence of this can be seen in the fine staircase, wooden panelling and decorative fireplaces. In the 1840s, the building was purchased by local philanthropist Martha Gale who gifted it to Andover Grammar School. The brick extension that houses the Museum of the Iron Age was added in the 1880s.

My 11 year old & I visited today as he has some homework on how the Romans changed Andover. One of the staff spent half an hour with us, sharing his extensive knowledge. Luckily for us his area of expertise is The Romans. My son now has an absolute wealth of knowledge to use for his homework. It’s also fed his interest in history which was lovely to see. I wish I’d got his name but I’m very grateful to the guy who spent all that time with us & explained in an age appropriate way. He also went off to find another piece of information which he then came & found us to share it. Everything was also covid safe & I did not have any concerns about needing to take any unnecessary risks whilst there.

While visiting Andover for an overnight stay, hubby and I visited here (02.08.2020) Wow ❤️ Just beautiful. We parked and walked the paths, alongside the lakes. Seeing wildflowers and all kinds of bird life was lovely. It was already a beautiful day with the sun shining. We had our sandwiches and drinks packed and were blown away with how pretty it all was. We loved seeing the Swans and Signets. We are going to visit again but this time with our daughter.
