Kentsboro is a small rural hamlet in the borough of Test Valley, Hampshire, England. It sits within the rolling chalk downland and river meadows that characterise much of the district, giving the locality a quietly agricultural feel with hedgerows, small woods and open fields shaping the landscape.
The local economy is largely agricultural with a mix of smallholdings, equestrian activity and other rural enterprises, while social life often revolves around nearby villages and market towns. Like many settlements in the area, Kentsboro reflects a long agricultural history in its surviving farmhouses and converted barns, and tends to combine a tight-knit community of long-standing residents with people who commute to larger centres for work.
