There are town and country footpaths in the neighbourhood. The historic old market town of Alton has High Street shops, weekly and specialist open air market events, stores such as Sainsbury's , M & S, Waitrose and Aldi, primary and senior schools, The Convent and Alton College, restaurants and inns, a station (Waterloo line), and on the outskirts, Alton Sports Centre and two golf courses.
