Stratfield Saye is a small rural parish in the district of Basingstoke and Deane in Hampshire, England, characterised by gently rolling farmland, estate parkland and pockets of woodland. The community is centred on the historic Stratfield Saye House, the country seat presented to the first Duke of Wellington after Waterloo; its grounds, heritage collections and occasional public openings remain the parish's main cultural draw.
Locally the area retains a quiet village feel with a small, close-knit population and community activities; economically it is still largely agricultural, with many residents commuting to nearby towns. The Wellington connection gives the parish a distinctive historic identity, and its lanes and footpaths are popular with walkers and anyone interested in Hampshire's rural landscape and heritage.
