Heckfield is a village in Hampshire, in the north of the county (just over a mile south of the Berkshire border), sitting in the open countryside on the B3349 between Reading (in Berkshire) and Hook.
The great house here is Highfield Park, where Neville Chamberlain died in 1940. It is also adjacent to Stratfield Saye House, the large stately home that has been the home of the Dukes of Wellington since 1817 (and which is now a hotel and venue facility).
