Odiham is a small historic parish in the district of Hart, county of Hampshire, England, sitting amid gently rolling countryside with the restored Basingstoke Canal threading through the area. Its position close to the M3 and local rail links makes it a popular commuter base while retaining a distinctly rural feel, with towpath walks, farmlands and nearby villages such as North Warnborough contributing to a strong local community identity.
Historically the settlement is best known for the early 13th-century ruin of Odiham Castle, one of the few visible reminders of medieval royal presence in the region, and the parish also neighbours RAF Odiham, the helicopter station that shapes part of the local economy and character. Today Odiham blends historic high-street charm, active community groups and leisure boating on the canal with the commuter and defence connections that influence its social and economic life.
