Medstead is a compact village and civil parish in East Hampshire, Hampshire, England, set amid rolling chalk downland and mixed farmland a short drive from Alton. It retains a distinctly rural character with lanes, flint and timber cottages and a small medieval parish church, offering good access for walkers and cyclists exploring the surrounding countryside.
The village is perhaps best known locally for its link to the preserved Mid Hants Railway - the steam service that calls at Medstead & Four Marks - which brings a steady trickle of visitors and helps underpin a modest local economy alongside farming. Social life revolves around village groups, a village hall and a couple of pubs, so it combines a quiet country lifestyle with an active community spirit.
