It lies 11.8 km north-north-west of Orillia, ON (from Orillia, ON: bearing 346°T), and is situated 14.3 km east of Coldwater.

The sky above Hampshire Mills often stretches wide and pale, a canvas for clouds that drift with an unhurried grace, casting fleeting shadows on the patchwork of cultivated land and the scattered stands of hardwood trees that punctuate the horizon. The overall impression is one of verdant peace, a place where the seasons paint the land in broad, honest strokes, from the emerald blush of spring to the deep, burnished gold of late summer. The history of Hampshire Mills is inextricably linked to the power of water and the tenacity of early settlers. The eponymous mills, long since fallen silent save for the whispering wind through their weathered timbers, once harnessed the flow of the nearby river, fueling a local economy built on grain and timber. Traces of this industrial past are still visible in the sturdy stone foundations and the remnants of old water channels, hinting at a time when the clamor of industry echoed where now only birdsong reigns. Today, Hampshire Mills continues to draw its livelihood from the fertile soil, with agricultural pursuits remaining a cornerstone, its fields yielding crops that feed both the local populace and wider markets. The spirit of those who first carved a life from this land endures, a quiet resilience that is as much a part of Hampshire Mills as the rustle of corn stalks in the breeze.
