Owslebury is a small village and civil parish in the City of Winchester district of Hampshire, England, set on chalk downland a few miles to the south‑east of Winchester. The village sits close to sweeping downland known as Owslebury Down, a recognised area for species‑rich chalk grassland and butterflies, giving fine panoramic views across the Hampshire countryside.
Historically a farming community with medieval roots, Owslebury still has an agricultural feel alongside a compact village social life centred on a parish church, village hall and a traditional pub; many residents commute into nearby towns. The parish is also notable for active local conservation efforts and for being a popular spot for walkers enjoying the preserved downland and rural character of the area.
