About

Charlton & the Pentons is a largely rural ward in the Test Valley district, encompassing several small settlements set within the Hampshire countryside. The area is characterised by farmland, woodland, and the gentle valleys of the River Anton and Pillhill Brook. Villages like Upper Clatford, Abbotts Ann, and Little Ann are focal points, with traditional brick and flint buildings and village greens defining their quiet character.

The landscape is shaped by agriculture and historic estates, with many public footpaths and bridleways crossing the fields. A notable local feature is the ancient Anna Valley, with its watercress beds historically fed by clear chalk streams. Community life centres on village halls, local pubs, and the primary school, maintaining a distinctly parish-based atmosphere away from larger urban centres.
