Alresford (pronounced Allsford) is a beautifully preserved Georgian market town famous for its watercress beds, fed by the crystal-clear springs of the River Itchen and River Arle. The Watercress Way long-distance path and the Itchen Valley both offer outstanding chalk stream walking.

An exceptionally elegant Georgian town with a famous heritage steam railway and watercress beds throughout, Alresford makes a delightful base for the Itchen Valley — one of Hampshire’s finest chalk stream landscapes.
