The civil parish of Old Basing and Lychpit lies on the eastern edge of Basingstoke in Hampshire, centred on the riverside village of Old Basing. The area is best known for the dramatic ruins of Basing House, a once-magnificent Tudor mansion besieged during the English Civil War, and for pleasant riverside walks along the River Loddon and the surrounding rolling countryside.
Adjacent Lychpit is a mainly modern residential estate with local shops, schools and community facilities, so the parish combines a strong village identity and conservation interest with practical amenities. Many residents commute to Basingstoke, Reading or London, while local pubs, clubs and heritage events at Basing House help sustain an active community life and a mix of historic and contemporary character.
