Palestine

Palestine is a village which lies in the civil parish of Over Wallop, approximately 7 miles (11 km) south-west of Andover, in Hampshire, England.

It consists mainly of fields, farms and a few dozen houses with the built-up area having 283 residents at the 2011 Census.^[1] Most houses are built in a bungalow style.^{[citation needed]}

The main roads are Streetway Road, Mount Hermon Road and Mount Carmel Road.

The settlement adjoins the village of Grateley, which has a railway station with hourly South Western Railway trains to London Waterloo and Salisbury, half hourly in peak times.

The village is serviced by one bus, the number 5 from/to Andover, Hampshire bus station, a few times a day during the week. This route also visits Quarley, Thruxton, Weyhill, and Monxton MOD.

The parish boundary runs down the centre of Streetway Road, meaning that when a new housing development was built on the north side of the road, the residents on the south side could not officially object, as the development was within a different parish.^[2]
