Meon Valley – West Meon, East Meon & Privett

To the south-east of Alresford lies the charming Meon Valley, set in the heart of the South Downs National Park. The area is well known for its rolling countryside, pretty villages and strong sense of community, making it a highly desirable place to live.

West Meon offers a good range of day-to-day amenities, including a well-regarded Ofsted-rated ‘Good’ primary school, a parish church, local shops, and the popular Thomas Lord pub. A regular bus service connects the village with surrounding towns, adding to its popularity.

East Meon and Privett sit a little more off the beaten track, surrounded by idyllic countryside and beautiful walking routes. East Meon boasts two traditional pubs – The Izaak Walton and Ye Olde George Inn – both at the heart of village life. Privett, with its peaceful rural charm, is known for its landmark church and tranquil setting.

Together, the Meon Valley villages offer an enviable blend of community, history and natural beauty, all within easy reach of Alresford, Petersfield and Winchester.
