It lies 10.1 km west-south-west of Whitchurch (from Whitchurch: bearing 256°T, OS grid SU 364 454), and is situated south-east of Charlton village.

Today, Andover continues to be a hub for distribution and light manufacturing, benefiting from its strategic position within the South East region. Andover boasts a rich heritage, with the impressive St Michael's Church standing as a prominent landmark in the town centre, its spire a familiar sight. The town also has connections to notable individuals, including the celebrated Victorian author Jane Austen, who visited and wrote about the area. Andover's cultural life is further enriched by its local events and a strong sense of community, reflecting the enduring spirit of this Hampshire market town.
