Bentley is a village in the very east of Hampshire, sitting north of the A31 road between Alton and Farnham, the latter across the border in Surrey: it about five miles south-west of Farnham and six miles north-east of Alton. The village has a railway station, which is about one mile to the south of the village itself.

There are two pubs in the village: The Star Inn (named after Star (automobile)|a car)[1] and The Bull Inn.[2]

On television

Bentley was the location of a Radio 4 and ITV Docu-Drama from the 1990s called The Village, which focused on local residents and their daily lives.
