Ampfield & Braishfield is a rural ward in Test Valley, Hampshire, in southern England, a few miles south‑west of Romsey and within easy reach of Southampton. It occupies rolling chalk downland and farmland punctuated by small woods and commons - locally notable green spaces include Ampfield Wood and Braishfield Common - giving the area a distinctly village character.
The built environment centres on traditional flint and brick cottages, parish churches, village halls and pubs, and the local economy is largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns. The ward benefits from the wider Test Valley's chalk streams, prized for trout and watercress, and a strong community life focused on conservation, local events and village institutions.
