Shawford is a compact village just south-east of Winchester in Hampshire, England, set in the chalk valley of the River Itchen. The village is noted for its attractive riverside meadows and the chalk grassland of Shawford Down, which together make it popular with walkers, birdwatchers and those interested in chalk‑stream ecology.
Locally it feels like a traditional Hampshire village with a small, active community, a mix of older houses and commuter households, and easy links into the city of Winchester and nearby towns. The combination of historic buildings, accessible countryside and riverside recreation gives Shawford a quietly rural character while remaining well connected.
