Lordswood sits on the northern edge of Southampton, where the city’s suburban streets finally give way to the countryside. It’s a quiet residential area, largely developed in the 1960s and 70s, characterized by winding closes and plenty of green space. Its defining feature is the namesake woodland - a remnant of the ancient Forest of Bere - which provides miles of walking and cycling trails through the trees, eventually connecting up towards Rownhams and Chilworth. To the north, the area is bordered by the M27, and while the motorway is close, it offers the practical benefit of easy access to both Portsmouth and Bournemouth. Life here tends to revolve around the local shops on Lordshill District Centre just down the road, the local primary schools, and the proximity to Southampton General Hospital, which is only a short distance to the south. It feels a world away from the busy container ports and the city centre, yet you can be in the heart of town in twenty minutes if the traffic behaves.
