Known for its beautiful green spaces, historic buildings and strong sense of community, Hartley Wintney has been rated one of the prettiest villages in Hampshire. Located on the A30 London to Exeter Road, just 11 miles from Basingstoke and 40 miles from London, the village has a charming High Street lined with independent shops and boutiques, a village green complete with duck pond and three traditional pubs.
Whether you enjoy getting out and about, taking part in sports or village activities or indulging in some retail therapy, Hartley Wintney has plenty to offer.
Surrounded by glorious Hampshire countryside and home to Hartley Wintney Common with its magnificent, mature oak trees, the village is the perfect place for those who enjoy walking, cycling or riding.
In addition to the various village sports club, the Victoria Hall complex hosts live music events, cinema screenings, a friendly Bridge Club, an Arts Group, a choir, quilting and needlecraft sessions, tea dances, T’ai Chi and U3A meetings. For Pilates, yoga, fitness classes and wellbeing workshops, there’s the Lucy Pygott Centre, a modern community hub with facilities for cricket, football and croquet. The local community comes together to enjoy a programme of events including a festival in June with live music and food stalls.
Thriving independent shops and boutiques provide plenty of retail opportunities whether you’re looking for artisanal baked goods, gifts, clothing or furniture and, every Friday morning, the Country Market features local produce including baked goods, preserves and hand-made crafts.
