The area covers the clustered villages of Binsted, Bentley and Selborne in rural East Hampshire, Hampshire, England. Rolling chalk downland, ancient woodlands and steep wooded hangers give the locality a classic Hampshire countryside feel, and Selborne's association with the 18th‑century naturalist Gilbert White helps shape a strong conservation tradition centred on Gilbert White's House and nearby nature reserves in the South Downs landscape.
Locally the economy is a mix of farming and small businesses, with many residents commuting to nearby market towns such as Alton and Farnham. Village pubs, churches and community events sustain a sociable rural life, while medieval churches, timber‑framed cottages and active wildlife groups make the area popular with walkers and anyone interested in natural history and traditional Hampshire village character.
