Situation

The village is set amidst fine Hampshire countryside between the villages of Hawkley and Farringdon within the South Downs National Park. Renowned for its association with Gilbert White, the 18th Century naturalist, the village is home to Gilbert White’s House and Museum and is surrounded by scenery of outstanding natural beauty lying at the foot of a beech covered hanger. White’s Café forms part of the Museum and is a popular village meeting place.
