Chilbolton is a small village and civil parish in Test Valley, Hampshire, England, tucked into the chalk-country of the River Test valley. The setting is classically Hampshire - rolling downland, fertile arable fields and water meadows along the clear chalk stream, which has long made the area popular for trout fly‑fishing and small‑scale farming.
The village mixes a quiet rural community with a few distinctive features: a medieval parish church, a village hall and pub at the heart of local life, and the nearby Chilbolton Observatory with its large radio dish that stands out against the skyline. Economically it remains largely agricultural with some commuters to nearby towns such as Stockbridge, Andover and Winchester, and socially it retains active local clubs and events that keep village life connected.
