Picket Piece is a small village on the edge of the Test Valley district in Hampshire, England, lying just a short distance from the market town of Andover. It sits amid the rolling Hampshire countryside typical of the Test Valley - chalk downland and mixed farmland - and offers easy access to local walking country and the river valleys that characterise the area, notably the nearby River Test.
Historically a hamlet tied to agriculture, Picket Piece has seen modern housing growth and a largely commuter population who use Andover for shops, schools and services; local life retains a village feel with community groups and events. Economically it combines rural roots with residents working in surrounding towns and larger centres, and recent development has shaped much of its contemporary social character.
