Headbourne Worthy is a small, mainly residential village just to the north‑east of Winchester in Hampshire, England. It sits amid chalk downland and farmland and is closely associated with the spring‑fed River Itchen, a classic chalk‑stream habitat prized for its ecology and fly‑fishing; the landscape and historic buildings give the area a distinctly rural feel despite being only a few minutes from the city centre.
The settlement has a long history reflected in its period houses and village church, and the community is largely commuter‑oriented while retaining agricultural and conservation interests. Local life tends to revolve around church and village events, country lanes and footpaths, and informal stewardship of the river and surrounding countryside that make it popular with walkers and nature enthusiasts.
