Holybourne is a small village just to the north‑east of Alton in the district of East Hampshire, Hampshire, England. Set in gently rolling chalk countryside on the fringes of the South Downs, it combines traditional cottages and farms with more modern housing and benefits from good road links and nearby rail services via Alton, making it popular with walkers and commuters alike.
The village name derives from Old English, alluding to a “holy stream”, and its history is rooted in agriculture and rural trades; more recently a modest onshore oil and gas presence has been a notable part of the local economy. Holybourne retains a strong community feel with local amenities, a village hall and seasonal events, giving it a quietly distinctive character between market towns and the downs.
