Yateley is a small town in the district of Hart, in north‑east Hampshire, England, set amid heathland and a string of lakes formed from old gravel workings. The town sits on the edge of the Thames Basin Heaths and is known for Yateley Common and the Yateley Lakes, which give it a green, outdoorsy character popular with walkers, anglers and wildlife watchers; it lies close to Fleet, Camberley and Farnborough and is within commuting distance of Reading and London.
Historically a rural parish, Yateley expanded in the 20th century into a suburban commuter town and today combines local shops, schools and active sports and community clubs. The local economy is largely residential with many people working in nearby business centres or commuting further afield, and socially the town retains a family‑oriented, small‑town feel centred on green spaces and community activities.
