Frenchmoor is a very small, distinctly rural civil parish in the Test Valley district of Hampshire, England. It occupies typical south-central English countryside of rolling downland and pasture, with a handful of farms and scattered cottages rather than a compact village centre, giving it a quiet, remote feel popular with walkers and horse riders.
Historically the area has been agricultural for centuries, and that continuity shows in surviving farmhouses, field patterns and minor lanes. With few local services the community is small and closely knit, while the local economy remains dominated by farming, smallholdings and residents who commute to nearby towns for work; conservation and low-impact rural tourism are increasingly important to its character.
