Alton Whitedown

About

Alton Whitedown ward encompasses the western edge of the town of Alton, merging residential streets with open countryside. The area includes the neighbourhoods of Whitedown and Caker Stream, characterised by a mix of housing developments and older properties. It is bordered by the A31 to the north, which separates it from the neighbouring parish of Bentley. The topography features gentle slopes leading down towards the town centre, with several small greens and wooded areas interspersed throughout the residential zones.

A notable local feature is the presence of the Watercress Line heritage railway, which runs along the ward's southern boundary. The tracks and associated embankments form a distinct green corridor through the area. Land use is primarily residential, with local services concentrated along Anstey Road and Whitedown Lane. The ward maintains a clear separation from the more central commercial parts of Alton, offering a quieter, semi-rural atmosphere on the town's fringe.
