About Selborne

Few places capture the character of rural England quite like Selborne. It lies 5.8 km west-south-west of Bordon (from Bordon: bearing 250°T, OS grid SU 742 335), and is situated north-north-west of Empshott village. The landscape surrounding Selborne is a quintessential depiction of the Hampshire Downs, with undulating chalk hills and ancient woodland. Historically, Selborne was an agricultural parish, its fortunes tied to the cultivation of the land and the raising of livestock. The village is perhaps most famously associated with the naturalist Gilbert White, whose detailed observations of Selborne's flora and fauna in his "The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne" brought the parish international renown. White's former home, The Wakes, now serves as a museum dedicated to his life and work, drawing visitors interested in natural history and local heritage.
