Aldershot

The town of Aldershot in the county of Hampshire grew from a small village before the Victorian Age to become a large town; due primarily with its strong and continued association with the British Army. The history of the town’s evolution is clear at the extensive barracks that have grown through the ages. There is an annual celebration of the military association with the Aldershot Army Show that attracts tens of thousands of visitors here to witness the spectacular arena displays, explore the fascinating exhibits and see a diverse array of military vehicles and equipment. The story of the town and its military links are best explored at the Aldershot Military Museum that looks at all aspects of life in the town throughout its history.

Aldershot’s growth since the army first set-up camp here in the 19^th century has been rapid and remarkable with elements of the bustling Victorian town evident today in the architecture and layout. The town centre offers excellent shopping, plenty of eateries and pubs and a busy nightlife as well as a host of visitor and cultural attractions.
