Beech is a small, rural parish in East Hampshire, in the county of Hampshire, England. It lies a few miles east of Alton and not far from the Surrey border around Farnham, set among rolling mixed woodland and stretches of heath that characterise this part of the Hampshire countryside.
Historically agricultural, the parish today is a quiet, largely residential community of farms and period cottages with a small, active social life centred on local events and the village hall; many residents commute to nearby towns. The surrounding woodlands and heathland give the area conservation interest and make it popular with walkers and nature enthusiasts, preserving a strongly rural character despite its proximity to larger centres.
