Twyford is a small village just to the east of Winchester in Hampshire, England. It sits in the valley of the River Itchen, a classic chalk stream, and retains a distinctly rural character of farmland, hedgerows and traditional cottages while also serving as a quiet commuter settlement for the nearby city.

Close by is the chalk downland of Twyford Down, notable for prehistoric barrows and for the high-profile protests when the M3 was extended in the 1990s; that mix of wildlife interest, accessible walking country and a small local community (pub, village hall, farms and conservation-minded residents) gives the village a blend of historic landscape and modern living.
