Preston Candover Hampshire Map

About Preston Candover

Preston Candover, a Hampshire jewel, unfolds its quiet story under a sky that often holds a particular, soft light. It lies 9.3 km north-north-east of New Alresford (from New Alresford: bearing 12°T, OS grid SU 606 417), and is situated south of Axford village. The gentle, rolling chalk downland that cradles Preston Candover imbues the air with a certain clarity, a breath of chalk dust and summer grass. Fields of ripening wheat, when the sun catches them just so, shimmer with an almost liquid gold, a sight that has surely changed little through the ages. The ancient parish church, St. Mary the Virgin, stands as a sentinel of stone, its bells perhaps marking out the hours with a sound that travels far across the fields. The very soil here seems to hold a patient memory of agricultural cycles and the quiet lives lived within its embrace.
