The map
About this Alton map poster
Alton lies in east Hampshire, in a valley among chalk downland near the source of the River Wey. From above, the town is shaped around its long high street, with older streets running off it and newer neighbourhoods spreading up the gentle slopes on either side of the valley.
The town has a long association with brewing, and it is also the eastern terminus of the Watercress Line, a heritage railway running to Alresford. Chawton, where Jane Austen lived and wrote, is just to the south-west, and walkers and visitors often pass through Alton on the way.
An Alton map poster shows a market town that has grown steadily around a clear historic spine. The river and railway run through the valley, the high street forms the main axis, and the surrounding fields and downland create a soft frame at the edges.

River Wey source
The River Wey rises nearby and flows through the valley, a quiet line on the map that helps explain the town's position and shape.
Watercress Line
The heritage railway leaves Alton towards Alresford, a clear line heading west that connects the town to its surrounding countryside.
