Droxford is a small village and civil parish in the Meon Valley, in the district of Winchester, Hampshire, England. It sits along the River Meon beneath chalk downland of the South Downs National Park, giving a landscape of meadows, ancient lanes and flint‑built cottages that reflect its long rural history.
The community retains a strong village feel: a historic parish church and clusters of listed houses hint at medieval origins, while the footprint of the former railway station is a pictorial reminder of the steam era. Farming and small local businesses remain important to the economy, supplemented by residents who commute to nearby towns, and village halls, pubs and regular local events help keep social life active.
