Chilbolton is a small rural village in Test Valley, Hampshire, England, set among chalk downland close to the River Test. The landscape around the village is typical of the area - rolling downs and water-meadows - and is popular with walkers and anglers drawn to the Test’s reputation for trout and fly‑fishing.
Aside from its agricultural character, Chilbolton is notable for the nearby Chilbolton Observatory and its radio‑telescope installations, which give the area an unexpected scientific presence. Socially it has the feel of a small, close‑knit community with a historic parish church and village facilities, while many residents make use of nearby market towns such as Stockbridge and Andover for services and commuting.
