Knowle sits in a quiet spot just north of Fareham, positioned on a ridge that looks out over the Meon Valley. It is defined by its unique history as the site of the former Knowle Hospital; many of the original Victorian red-brick buildings were preserved and converted into apartments and houses two decades ago, giving the village a distinct architectural character quite different from the surrounding modern suburbs. At its heart is the old chapel and a central cricket green, which serves as a focal point for the community. While it feels secluded, bounded by woods and farmland, it is practically located for access to the M27 and the nearby market town of Wickham. The layout is compact and largely pedestrian-friendly, with a small cluster of local businesses, including a convenience store and a salon, situated near the village green. Boundary Oak School is right on the doorstep, and the walking trails through the adjacent Knowle Haven local nature reserve offer a direct connection to the Hampshire countryside.
