Overton is a large village and civil parish in the borough of Basingstoke and Deane, in north Hampshire, England. It sits in the valley of the River Test, a classic chalk stream, and has a long high street of Georgian and timber‑framed buildings that hint at its medieval and agricultural roots.
The village has its own railway station with regular services towards Basingstoke and London, so it’s popular with commuters, yet local life remains centred on farming, small shops, pubs, a village hall and sports clubs; walkers and anglers are also drawn to the Test. Community events and a strong village identity sit alongside the modern commuter economy.
