About Herriard

Herriard is a village of just over 200 residents with its roots in agriculture.

Much of the village land is owned by The Herriard Estates , including the beautiful beech woods and parkland alongside the A339 from Basingstoke.

Being only a few miles south of Basingstoke and the M3 and with good road, rail and air links, it’s a great place to live. As well as farming,  there is a diverse range of businesses in the Parish including joiners, builders, artisan food and produce  producers, architects and surveyors, software and high tech electronics companies, all creating local employment and maintaining the vitality of the village. The community has a village hall run by the Royal British Legion, St Mary’s Church, the Fur and Feathers pub and wide range of sports facilities,

Supported by the Herriard Estates, the Parish Council has provided affordable housing both for families and retired people who have strong connections with the village. Along with the Estate’s policy to give preference to local people when houses are available to rent, this has enabled growing and maturing families to remain in the village. Combined with the additional enthusiasm and ideas of those moving in, Herriard is a traditional and close knit village community.
