Bighton is a small village and civil parish in the district of Winchester, Hampshire, England, set in a rural landscape of rolling downland and mixed farmland. Narrow lanes, hedgerows and traditional brick-and-flint cottages give it a character typical of south Hampshire villages, and it sits within easy reach of market towns such as New Alresford and the county town of Winchester, with the attractive hills and walking country of the South Downs close by.
The village has historic roots visible in its older buildings and the surrounding field patterns; agriculture has long been important to the local economy, while today some residents commute to larger centres. Social life is quiet and community-focused, with local events and country pursuits helping to sustain a close-knit feel that many visitors and residents find appealing.
