Exton is a small rural parish in the Meon Valley, within the district of Winchester in Hampshire, England. It sits on the banks of the River Meon and lies close to the eastern edge of the South Downs National Park, with neighbouring villages such as Droxford and Corhampton nearby; the line of the former Meon Valley Railway also runs through the area and provides popular walking and cycling routes.
The village has a quietly historic, agricultural character - a scattering of listed buildings, a compact parish church and a number of traditional cottages - while its economy is a mix of farming and residents who commute to Winchester or coastal towns. The river, public footpaths and the surrounding downs make it a pleasant spot for walkers and those seeking a peaceful Hampshire countryside community.
