Bursledon is a riverside village situated on the banks of the River Hamble, roughly five miles east of Southampton. The area is divided into three distinct parts: Old Bursledon, which sits on the steep hills overlooking the water; Lowford, the village centre at the top of the hill; and the newer developments of Bursledon Green. Historically, the village was a hub for wooden shipbuilding, most notably producing the HMS Elephant which served as Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Copenhagen. Today, the river remains the village’s focal point, home to several busy marinas and the Elephant Boatyard. While the village feels tucked away, it is bisected by the A27 and sits right at Junction 8 of the M27, making it a very practical spot for anyone needing to commute towards Portsmouth, Winchester, or the New Forest. For those on foot, the local station offers hourly services between Southampton and Portsmouth. You can still see the sails of the restored 19th-century Bursledon Windmill on the skyline, and the local landscape is defined by its mix of dense woodland, salt marshes, and the tidal flow of the Hamble.
