Binsted is a small, rural parish in East Hampshire, in the county of Hampshire, England, lying a few miles north-east of Alton. It retains a quiet, agricultural character with timber-framed cottages, winding lanes and open fields that make it popular with walkers and people looking for a peaceful countryside base.

Community life in Binsted centres on a medieval parish church and the village hall, and the local economy remains rooted in farming alongside a handful of small businesses and commuters who travel to nearby towns. Proximity to areas of woodland such as Alice Holt Forest adds recreational and forestry interest, and the conservation of historic houses and rural landscapes gives the parish a distinctly Hampshire feel.
