Headley Down and the neighbouring village of Headley sit on open heath and pine woodland in the district of East Hampshire, Hampshire, England, just a short drive from the former army town of Bordon. The landscape is shaped by low, sandy soils and areas of common and forest (including parts of Woolmer Forest), so the settlements have a pleasantly uncultivated, outdoorsy feel popular with walkers and dog‑owners.
Socially and economically the two places are quiet, largely residential communities with a mix of traditional cottages and more modern housing; local life centres on village institutions such as the parish church, village hall and pubs, while proximity to nearby towns makes them convenient for commuters. Their history is gently rural with military connections nearby, and the heathland character gives both a distinct sense of place compared with Hampshire’s agricultural lowlands.
