Hawley is a small village and civil parish in the district of Hart, in Hampshire, England, lying a few miles north of Farnborough and close to Fleet and Blackwater. It occupies a semi‑rural setting of heathland, woodland and small lakes - most notably Hawley Lake - and is popular locally for walking and water‑based recreation.
Historically a rural settlement, Hawley has been shaped by the growth of nearby aviation and military activity around Farnborough and by good road and rail links that make it a convenient commuter base. Socially it retains a village feel with local clubs and outdoor pursuits, and benefits from being in Hart, a district often noted for high quality of life and strong household incomes while still offering easy access to services and employment.
