Welcome to Freefolk

Freefolk is a small village located in the county of Hampshire, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Test, which is known for its clear waters and abundance of trout. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and fields of crops. Freefolk is a peaceful and quiet place, with a strong sense of community.

The village has a long history, dating back to the Saxon period. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and has been inhabited ever since. Freefolk was once a thriving market town, with a weekly market and an annual fair. However, the market declined in the 19th century, and the village became more focused on agriculture. Today, Freefolk is a popular destination for tourists who come to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

Freefolk is home to a number of historic buildings, including the 12th century St. Nicholas Church. The church is a Grade II listed building, and features a Norman doorway and a 13th century font. The village also has a pub, The Watership Down Inn, which is named after the nearby hill that inspired the book of the same name. The pub serves traditional English food and local ales, and is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. Overall, Freefolk is a charming and picturesque village that offers a glimpse into rural life in England.
