Boarhunt stands on the north slope of [[Portsdown Hill|Ports Down]]: south of the village, on the ridge is a Palmerston fort, [[Fort Nelson]], and by it the [[Nelson Monument, Boarhunt|Nelson Monument]].

− | This is a tiny place now, the original village having practically disappeared, so that Boarhunt is classified as a 'deserted village'.<ref name=l/>
