Welcome to Old Alresford

Old Alresford is a small village located in the county of Hampshire, England. The village is situated on the River Alre, which flows through the village and provides a picturesque setting for the village. Old Alresford has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. The village was also an important centre for the wool trade in the Middle Ages, and many of the buildings in the village date back to this period.

One of the most notable buildings in Old Alresford is the parish church of St. Mary the Virgin. The church dates back to the 12th century and is a Grade I listed building. The church has a number of interesting features, including a 14th-century font and a 17th-century pulpit. The church also has a number of beautiful stained glass windows, including a window designed by the famous artist Edward Burne-Jones.

Old Alresford is also home to a number of other historic buildings, including Old Alresford House. The house was built in the 18th century and was the home of the Bishop of Winchester for many years. The house is now a private residence, but it is open to the public on certain days of the year. Old Alresford also has a number of traditional thatched cottages, which add to the village's charm and character.

Cheesefoot Head
There Is A Fairly Small Car Park On A272 But I've Never Stopped There And Been Unable To Park. There Are Several Walks Around This Area But I Prefer To Cross The Road Onto The South Downs Way But A Nice 2 Mile Walk Which I Have Included Photos Of Goes Straight Across Down Instead Of Curving Right After The First Field. It's A Little Less Muddy Than The South Downs Walk That Way Which Is Better In Spring/Summer.
