The B3048 is an unofficial Andover eastern bypass.
It starts on the A343 in Hurstbourne Tarrant and proceeds southeastwards along Church Street.
It follows the Bourne Rivulet, a tributary of the River Test, through Stoke and St Mary Bourne and passes under the West of England Main Line.
The B3048 crosses the Bourne Rivulet and enters Hurtsbourne Priors where it crosses the B3400 (former A30) via an offset crossroads. About a mile further on it reaches the River Test itself (the Bourne Rivulet swung east to meet it but the B3048 took a straighter route).
The B3048 then becomes very windy through East Aston, Longparish, Middleton and Forton before reaching an unusual interchange with the A303. B3048 traffic has to TOTSO twice either side of the overbridge; stay on to turn left onto the A303.
Finally it enters Wherwell where it ends on the B3420 (former A342) adjacent to a bridge over one of the channels of the River Test.
