Greywell is a small, picturesque village in the district of Hart, Hampshire, England, tucked into a rural stretch of north‑east Hampshire. It sits beside the tidy chalk stream of the River Whitewater and the historic towpath of the Basingstoke Canal, making it popular with walkers and nature lovers; the landscape is largely agricultural with a scattering of traditional cottages and a quiet, conservation‑minded feel.
The village is best known for the northern portal of Greywell Tunnel, a partly collapsed canal tunnel that has become an internationally important roost for horseshoe bats and is a protected wildlife site. Historically centred on a small manor and parish community, modern Greywell combines that heritage with a largely residential, commuter‑friendly character, with nearby villages such as Odiham providing shops and services. Community life remains small and neighbourly, focused on the church, village events and the surrounding countryside.
