Bishopstoke is a suburban-village ward in the borough of Eastleigh, in Hampshire, England, set along the valley of the River Itchen and within easy commuting distance of Southampton. The area still feels green and semi-rural in parts, with chalk-stream ecology, riverside walks and pockets of woodland and open space that attract anglers and walkers alike.
Historically a medieval settlement with long ties to the bishops of Winchester, the community grew in the 19th century as transport and engineering works nearby expanded. Today it combines a village atmosphere with suburban amenities - local shops, schools and community groups - and a largely commuter population who also benefit from nearby employment and rail links in Eastleigh.
