Four Marks is a sizeable village and civil parish in East Hampshire, Hampshire, England, set amid heathland, farmland and small woods on the fringes of the Hampshire countryside. It sits close to the market town of Alton and offers easy access for walkers and cyclists, with the character of a rural settlement rather than a dormitory suburb.
The name comes from a historic meeting of boundary marks, and the village grew rapidly from scattered hamlets and "plotland" development in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today it has a lively community life with shops, a primary school, sports clubs and regular events, and it is notable for the preserved railway station Medstead & Four Marks on the Mid Hants "Watercress" line, which underlines its mix of historic roots and modern commuter connections.
