Things to see and do

The village itself caters for residents with plenty of local amenities and, with Basingstoke just six miles away, the lively shopping centre is popular with locals. You’ll also find boutique independent shopping in nearby Hartley Wintney and Odiham.

As you’d expect from a Hampshire village, Hook has much in the way of countryside to get to know close by. At the east side of the village you’ll find the stunning valley of the River Whitewater and to the south a Site of Special Scientific Interest, Bartley Heath. Hook Common is also to the south of the village and a great place to relax and experience the local wildlife.

Family days out can be enjoyed with the alpacas at Pennybridge Farm, and amongst history at Odiham Castle. You can also view the surrounding area with a relaxing canal boat ride or an exhilarating trip in a hot air balloon. 

As well as being a good commuter base for workers with jobs in London, there are plenty of opportunities for employment closer to home with several IT companies basing their headquarters at Bartley Wood business park.
