Holybourne lies just to the northeast of Alton, separated from the town by the bypass but connected by a short walk along London Road. The village takes its name from the brook that rises near the church of Holy Rood; this clear chalk stream eventually joins the River Wey. It is a geographically compact settlement, traditionally linear in layout, though it has expanded with mid-century and more recent housing that clusters around the core of flint and brick cottages. Most daily practicalities require a trip into Alton, but the village retains its own post office and local pub, the White Hart, which sits opposite the pond. It is perhaps best known for being the home of Treloar School and College, which occupies a significant site on the eastern edge of the village. For those using the railway, Alton station is less than a mile away, providing a direct, albeit hour-long, link to London Waterloo, while the surrounding hills offer immediate access to the start of the North Hampshire Downs.
