Headley is a small rural village and civil parish in the borough of Basingstoke and Deane in the county of Hampshire, England. It sits a short distance from the larger town of Basingstoke and is typical of Hampshire villages in scale and feel, with a modest population and a mix of residential and agricultural land use.
Set amid rolling chalk downland on the edge of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Headley retains a village character of timber-framed cottages, a historic parish church and remnant farmsteads; economically it remains rooted in agriculture while also functioning as a commuter community for nearby towns such as Basingstoke and Winchester, with rail links onward to London. Local social life revolves around the village green and hall, and the surrounding lanes and woodlands make it popular with walkers and riders.
