Soberton is a small village and civil parish in the district of Winchester, Hampshire, England, set in the Meon Valley on the northern fringe of the South Downs. The settlement sits near Soberton Heath amidst rolling chalk downland and mixed farmland, giving it a distinctly rural character despite being within easy reach of larger centres such as Portsmouth.

With medieval roots the village retains a cluster of traditional cottages and a parish church and feels like a conservation area, while its economy remains largely agricultural alongside residents who commute to nearby towns. Local life revolves around the village hall, the pub and occasional fetes and rural events, and there’s a strong community interest in preserving the landscape and historic buildings.
