Bishop's Waltham is a compact, historic market town in the district of Winchester, Hampshire, England, with a well-preserved centre of timber-framed and Georgian buildings clustered around its high street. The ruins of Bishop's Waltham Palace are the town's most striking reminder of medieval importance as a residence of the bishops of Winchester, and the wider area is valued for its attractive countryside and conservation areas.
Today the place combines a lively parade of independent shops, cafes and small businesses with a strong community feel, popular local events and active societies; its good road and rail links to nearby urban centres mean many residents commute while the town itself draws visitors for history, walking and village-scale tourism. Agriculture and rural services still shape parts of the local economy, giving a mix of traditional and commuter-belt social character.
