About

Petersfield North & East Meon encompasses a swathe of the East Hampshire Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, characterised by rolling chalk downland and wooded hangers. The landscape is defined by the upper reaches of the River Meon, which carves a valley through this rural parish. Agricultural land and small, historic settlements are scattered across the area, with the village of East Meon itself centred around its Norman church and medieval court house.

The area is traversed by long-distance paths like the South Downs Way and the Monarch's Way, which follow the high ridges. The geology is prominent, with the steep, beech-clad slopes of War Down and Hyden Hill being classic examples of hanger woodland. Local agriculture includes sheep grazing on the high downs and watercress cultivation in the clear chalk stream waters of the Meon.
