Rushmoor

Rushmoor is a local government district in north-east Hampshire, in South East England, covering the towns of Aldershot and Farnborough and surrounding settlements. Transport links include Farnborough Main and North stations, Aldershot station, the A331 and the A325. The district contains Farnborough Airport, where the Farnborough International Airshow is held on airport grounds, and sites associated with the Royal Aircraft Establishment. Industry in the area has a strong connection to aviation and defence, with business parks and research sites clustered around former and current military and aeronautical facilities.

Aldershot is known for its long-established military presence, centred on Aldershot Garrison and the Aldershot Military Museum, which sit alongside residential neighbourhoods and local shops. Green spaces such as Southwood Country Park and municipal parks provide places for recreation within the urban area. Local services include further education at Farnborough College of Technology, a mix of retail centres, and community events that reflect the district’s links to the armed forces and aviation sectors.
