Froyle, or to be more accurate, Upper and Lower Froyle, is a small village in northeast Hampshire in southern England.

Froyle is situated on the edge of the Downs above the Pilgrims' Way from Winchester to Canterbury. It is most likely that, in the winter months, the actual route taken by Pilgrims passed through the village to avoid the wet conditions in the valley of the River Wey. There was a Church at "Froli" (mentioned in the Domesday Book) in 1086. The entry for Froyle also states "Froyle, it was ever there...." and there are traces of habitation on the surrounding downs going back to the Iron Age.
