About Litchfield

Litchfield is a quaint village located within the Basingstoke and Deane district of Hampshire, now forming part of the parish of Litchfield and Woodcott. The village is conveniently located near the A34 trunk road, which traces the path of the historic Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway, where Litchfield railway station once served the area until its closure in 1960. The former station has since been transformed into a private residence, offering a glimpse into the village's railway heritage, while the recent bypass enhances connectivity to the surrounding regions. With a population of just 88 in 1931, Litchfield retains its small-community charm, making it an intriguing spot for potential planning applications. It sits within the Litchfield and Woodcott district.
