Old Alresford is a small village in the district of Winchester, Hampshire, England, sitting beside the broad shallow Alresford Pond and the chalk-stream River Itchen. The landscape is classic Hampshire lowland and Downland fringe, with water meadows, mature trees and a strong sense of tranquillity that makes it popular for walkers, birdwatchers and anglers.
Historically the pond and river have shaped local life through fishing, mills and watercress-growing, and the village retains a number of attractive historic houses and a close-knit rural character. It is closely linked to the nearby market town of New Alresford, with its shops and the heritage Watercress Line, while many residents commute to Winchester or further afield, so the local economy mixes agriculture, tourism and residential life.
