Wickham is a small historic village and civil parish in the district of Winchester in Hampshire, England, set in the Meon Valley on the River Meon, close to the South Downs and not far from the Solent. Its compact Georgian High Street, medieval market traditions and a notable parish church reflect a long history, and traces of the former Meon Valley Railway are still visible around the village.
Culturally it punches above its weight: the annual Wickham Festival brings music and arts to the village, while a lively community supports independent shops, pubs and local farming. Good walking and cycling routes into the surrounding countryside make it popular with visitors, and many residents commute to nearby centres such as Portsmouth and Southampton.
