Old Alresford is a small village and civil parish a few miles north‑east of Winchester in Hampshire, England, centred on the broad shallow Alresford Pond where the chalk‑fed River Alre spreads out. The pond, created in the medieval period, is prized for its birdlife, fishing and informal sailing, giving the area a strong waterside character and a sense of rural tranquillity.
The settlement is made up of a scattering of period houses, farms and a village church, with close links to the market town of New Alresford and easy commuting into Winchester. The local economy leans on agriculture, small local businesses and visitor activity, and the community is quiet, conservation‑minded and focused on outdoor pursuits and local events.
