Alton Holybourne is a ward in East Hampshire, Hampshire, England, covering part of the market town of Alton and the neighbouring village of Holybourne. It sits on the fringe of the chalk downland that characterises north‑east Hampshire, combining residential streets, small commercial and light‑industrial sites and surrounding farmland, with good road and rail connections to nearby towns and to London.
The ward reflects Alton's market‑town heritage and nearby literary connections - most notably Jane Austen's house at Chawton - which bring occasional tourism into what is otherwise a largely commuter and locally employed community. Local life tends to centre on parish and district issues such as housing and planning, protecting the rural character, and maintaining services, while public footpaths and lanes make countryside recreation readily available.
