Itchen Abbas is a small riverside village about three miles north‑east of Winchester in Hampshire, England. It sits on the south bank of the chalk‑stream River Itchen, whose clear waters and watermeadows give the area a distinctly rural feel; the river is noted for its ecological importance and trout fishing, and local footpaths link the village to surrounding countryside and the South Downs.
The settlement comprises period cottages, flint walls and a modest parish church, reflecting its agricultural and country‑estate roots (nearby Avington being one example). Today it is largely residential - popular with commuters to Winchester and further afield - but retains a quiet, community‑minded character with equestrian activity, riverside recreation and conservation‑minded residents.
