Faccombe is a village and civil parish in Hampshire, England. The village lies on the Hampshire-Berkshire border and is situated on the North Downs. Its nearest Hampshire town is Andover, approximately 8 miles (13 km) away although Newbury in Berkshire is 2 miles (3.2 km) closer.

The village was originally called "Faccombe Upstrete" in medieval times to distinguish it from Netherton, Hampshire, a village lower in the valley.^[1]

The village formerly had a single pub, The Jack Russell Inn, which served walkers and locals but this is currently closed.

Governance

The village is part of the civil parish of Faccombe^[2] and is part of the Bourne Valley ward of Test Valley District Council.^[3] The district council is a Non-metropolitan district of Hampshire County Council.
