Colden Common is a sizeable village and civil parish in the district of Winchester, Hampshire, England, sitting a few miles south of Winchester on the northern edge of the South Downs. The village is set amid gently rolling chalk countryside with nearby watercourses such as the River Itchen, and still retains its common green and pockets of older cottages alongside later 20th‑century housing.
Historically an agricultural settlement that expanded with commuter growth, Colden Common today has a lively village feel with local shops, pubs, a village hall, primary school and sports clubs, while many residents travel to Winchester, Southampton and further afield via the A33 and M3. Community events and recreational use of the common help preserve a strong local identity despite modern development.
