A parish of two villages
Wield parish takes in both Upper Wield and Lower Wield, two small, closely linked settlements rather than one continuous village, and the population across the whole parish remains modest.
Planning authority
Upper Wield's parish, Wield, is administered by East Hampshire District Council for planning purposes, since it sits on the East Hampshire side of the area this site covers.

A quiet rural setting
Farmland surrounds much of Wield parish, giving many properties larger plots than those closer to New Alresford, though rural access is worth raising with an installer when planning delivery of a garden room.
