Wield is a small, largely rural civil parish in East Hampshire, Hampshire, England, comprising the neighbouring settlements of Upper and Lower Wield. The landscape is typical of north‑eastern Hampshire, with rolling farmland, mixed woodland and quiet lanes linking it to nearby market towns such as Alton.
Local life centres on the parish church and village hall, and the area retains a number of older buildings and traditional cottages that reflect its agricultural past. Farming remains important alongside a population of commuters and retirees, and the parish’s peaceful lanes and countryside make it popular with walkers and those seeking a rural Hampshire community with occasional fetes and village events.
