Shalden is a small, rural parish in East Hampshire, Hampshire, England, set on chalk downland with a patchwork of farmland, hedged lanes and public footpaths that link into the nearby South Downs. The settlement has medieval roots and a scattering of historic buildings and earthworks that give a sense of long continuity despite its quiet, low‑density character.
Locally the economy remains largely agricultural with some equestrian activity, while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Alton for work and services; social life is modest but lively for its size, centred on a village hall, church and occasional community events that reflect a close‑knit rural community.
