Ropley is a village and civil parish in East Hampshire, Hampshire, England, set in rolling downland and mixed woodland between Alton and New Alresford. The settlement and surrounding hamlets such as Ropley Dean and Ropley Mill retain a strong rural character, with timber‑framed and flint cottages, a historic parish church and a conservation‑minded community.
