Steep is a small village and civil parish in East Hampshire, Hampshire, sitting on the lower slopes of the South Downs National Park just north of Petersfield. The parish sweeps from chalk downland and woodlands down into a narrow valley and scattered hamlets such as Steep Marsh, giving a mix of rolling countryside, farmed fields and attractive lanes that make it popular with walkers and nature lovers.
Historically agricultural, the village retains a strong rural character with many older flint and brick houses and a handful of listed buildings, while modern life is balanced by small local businesses and commuters using nearby road and rail links such as the A3 and trains from Petersfield to London. Community life centres on the village hall and pub, and conservation-minded planning within the national park helps preserve the area's scenic and historic charm.
