Sandleheath is a small village and civil parish on the north‑western edge of the New Forest district in Hampshire, England. It sits close to the Dorset border and is set in a mix of heathland and pine and oak woodland typical of the New Forest fringe, which makes it popular with walkers, riders and wildlife enthusiasts.
The community is quietly rural, with a local economy shaped by agriculture, forestry and a degree of tourism, while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Fordingbridge, Ringwood or larger centres further afield. Historically the area retains the character of commons and pastoral use, and village life is marked by small local organisations and occasional community events rather than large commercial activity.
