Stockbridge is a small town, civil parish and conservation area〔(Test Valley B.C. Conservation Areas )〕 in west Hampshire, England, from London. It has an area of and a population of little under 600 people according to the 2001 census. It sits astride the Test and at the foot of Stockbridge Down. It is in the Test Valley borough which shares local government with Hampshire County Council. ==Location== The A30 road goes through the town, which once carried most of the traffic from London to Dorset, south Somerset, Devon and Cornwall in the South West. However, engineering of the A303 dual carriageway today provides a flatter, unimpeded route in the north by Andover used for travel between the regions mentioned, just as the M4 replaced the A4. The bridge over the Test led to the town's name〔 as a coach stop as provisions (stock) could be taken aboard; though Salisbury is by road. Winchester is by the B3049 road that joins the A30 by the town, this historic town is en route from the medieval cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury. The town's street crosses the River Test, marking the border of the parishes of Stockbridge and Longstock by a low bridge of three arches rebuilt and widened in 1799.〔 Five smaller river channels flow through the town, split into for a brief time, eight artificial ditches just above the town to provide space for fish. The town is on a shared pedestrian/footpath, the Test Way.〔(Test Valley cycle route missing link funded, Test Valley B.C. )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stockbridge, Hampshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
