Selborne, Administrative village in East Hampshire, United Kingdom

Selborne sits within the northern boundary of South Downs National Park, featuring stone buildings, meadows, and walking paths across its territory.

The village gained recognition through Gilbert White, who wrote The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne in 1789 while residing at The Wakes.

St Mary's Church, a Grade I listed structure from the 12th century, stands as a central element of religious and community gatherings.

The village maintains direct bus connections to Alton, located 3.9 miles north, where visitors can access the nearest railway station.

The Zig-Zag Path, constructed in the 1760s, provides access to Selborne Hill through a series of diagonal cuts in the chalk hillside.
