Preston Candover is a village and large civil parish in Hampshire, England. It has two churches, only one of which is still in use. Its nearest town is Basingstoke, approximately 4.5 miles (7.2 km) away. It has an acreage of 3,457 acres (13.99 km2), which lies on comparatively low ground, south of the high country round the surrounding villages of Farleigh Wallop and Nutley, and north-west of that which rises to Wield and beyond to Bentworth. The village itself lies on the lowest ground towards the west of the parish on the road which comes northeast from Northington and the two other Candovers, and runs across the parish to enter Nutley at Axford and continues uphill to Farleigh Wallop and then to Basingstoke.

As you explore the winding country lanes, you'll be greeted by quaint thatched cottages and stunning views of the surrounding rolling hills. The village is also home to a beautiful 13th century church, St. Mary's, which boasts a striking Norman arch and intricate stained glass windows.

For nature lovers, Preston Candover offers ample opportunities for outdoor activities. Take a leisurely stroll along the Candover Brook, where you'll spot lively wildlife such as kingfishers and otters. If you're feeling more adventurous, lace up your hiking boots and explore the nearby South Downs National Park, which offers breathtaking views and challenging trails.
