Location of Hinton Ampner in Hampshire

Hinton Ampner is a village and country house estate with gardens and former civil parish, now in the parish of Bramdean and Hinton Ampner, in the Winchester district, in the county of Hampshire, England. It is near Alresford and eight miles due east of Winchester.[1] The village lies on the north slope of a long chalk ridge, with the house and church at its highest point.[2] The area is part of the broader Hampshire Downs, a large area of predominantly chalk downland. The nearest large river is the River Itchen to the west of the area. To the north west of Hinton is the village of Cheriton and New Cheriton. The village of Kilmeston is to the south.

The house is a Grade II listed building.[3] The house and garden are owned by the National Trust and are open to the public.[4][5]
