Mislingford is a hamlet near the River Meon between the village of Swanmore and the small hamlet of Kingsmead on the A32 road in the City of Winchester district of Hampshire, England. Its nearest town is Fareham, which lies approximately 5 miles (8 km) south-east from the village. Mislingford lies at a point of notable geological significance on the River Meon. Above this location the river flows over chalk, giving it the characteristics of a classic chalk stream; below it, the geology shifts rapidly to London Clay and Reading Sand, visibly changing the nature of the river's habitat. The Environment Agency operates a river level monitoring station at Mislingford, where the River Meon has a recorded average flow of 0.98 cubic metres per second.

The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Meon, about 10 m from the middle of Mislingford's gauges. It flows on to the sea.
A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on the River Meon nearest the middle of Mislingford's gauges. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist. This describes where water goes on the map; it says nothing about flooding at any address. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
