Longstock is a small village and civil parish in the Test Valley district of Hampshire, England, set close to the clear chalk-stream of the River Test and near the market town of Stockbridge. Its riverside meadows, country footpaths and handful of historic cottages give it a distinctly rural character, popular with walkers and anglers who value the trout-rich waters of the Test.
The parish is notable for its horticultural interest, most visibly in the well-kept Longstock Park Gardens, and for the presence of estate farmland and smallholdings that have shaped local life for generations. With a small, close-knit population, the local economy combines agriculture, leisure tourism (garden and river visitors) and commuting to nearby towns, while community life still centres on the village church and seasonal events.
