Warnford is a small rural parish in the district of Winchester, Hampshire, in southern England, tucked into the narrow chalk valley of the Meon within the rolling landscape of the South Downs National Park. The River Meon, a clear chalk stream, threads the parish and its valley sides are wooded and criss-crossed by public footpaths and bridleways, making the area popular with walkers, riders and anglers seeking a quiet rural setting.
Historic features include a compact village core with an old parish church and a traditional bridge over the river, reflecting centuries of local settlement and agricultural life. Today Warnford remains a small farming community with mixed arable and livestock enterprises, alongside residents who commute to nearby towns; conservation and low-key rural tourism are important to the local economy and social life.
