Bentworth is a small, rural parish in East Hampshire, Hampshire, England, set on the rolling chalk downland a few miles west of Alton. The landscape is typical south‑Hampshire countryside, with farmland, pockets of ancient woodland and expanses of chalk grassland giving wide views across the South Downs.
The parish has notable historic and natural interest: the medieval parish church, the nearby Iron Age earthworks on Ladle Hill and the grand country house of Bentworth Hall are local landmarks. A largely agricultural economy now sits alongside commuter households and an active village community, and the story of the area is marked by the old Bentworth and Lasham railway line, closed in the 20th century, which still figures in local history.
