Things to do in Totton
In 1996 the Town Council purchased an old disused Steam
Mill Building and developed it as a Heritage Centre to depict in detail
the history of the Town. In the Heritage Centre you can take a walk through
time from the Bronze Age to the present day. The Heritage Centre also
houses the Bronze Age dagger found to the north of the Town when the new
Testwood Lakes were being excavated.
The Testwood Lakes Centre is open to the public most weekends in the summer
and at various times during the week. Guided walks, events and activities
take place throughout the year and details can be found on the Hampshire
and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust’s website www.hwt.org.uk
There are many things to do at Testwood Lakes including Walking, Fishing
and Bird-watching.
