Lasham is a small, quiet village and civil parish in East Hampshire, Hampshire, England, sitting a few miles east of Alton amid rolling agricultural land. It has the feel of a traditional Hampshire settlement, with a handful of historic buildings and a rural community largely shaped by farming and country life, and it lies within easy reach of the chalk downland of the South Downs.
The village is best known for Lasham Airfield, the wartime base RAF Lasham that now hosts a major gliding centre and aviation businesses, including the Lasham Gliding Society, so aviation is a distinctive part of the local economy and character. Community life remains small and close-knit, with village events and the parish church preserving a sense of local history alongside the unusual backdrop of one of the UK’s better known general aviation sites.
