Bentworth is a small rural village and civil parish in East Hampshire, Hampshire, England, set on rolling chalk downland a few miles west of Alton. The landscape is typical of north Hampshire - farmland, hedgerows and scattered thatched cottages - and its elevated position gives long views across the surrounding countryside.
Historically the village centres on a medieval parish church and a history tied to farming and country estates; it once had a station on the light railway linking Basingstoke and Alton, now closed, reflecting a shift from a more connected past to a quieter, largely commuter and agricultural community. Bentworth still maintains an active village life around its hall and local events, with a handful of small businesses alongside residents who travel to nearby towns for work.
