Red Rice is a small historic estate and hamlet in the valley of the chalk-stream country of Test Valley, Hampshire, England. Set amid rolling downland and parkland it sits within easy reach of the River Test and the landscape of the North Wessex Downs, so the geography is dominated by fine chalk streams, mixed farmland and mature woodland rather than any urban centre.
Historically the area has been organised around a country house and estate, and today that legacy shows in local architecture, land use and leisure: farming, fly‑fishing on the chalk stream and equestrian activity are all part of the economy and social life, while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Andover. The settlement is quiet and rural, with conservation of the chalk‑stream environment and the character of traditional Hampshire countryside important to locals and visitors alike.
