Botley is a compact historic village in the borough of Eastleigh, in Hampshire, England. It sits close to the banks of the River Hamble and retains a picturesque high street of older buildings, reflecting its medieval origins and market-village past. The riverside setting gives pleasant walking routes and a hint of the area's maritime connections.
Today Botley mixes traditional shops, pubs and community groups with a largely commuter population who travel to nearby urban centres such as Southampton and Portsmouth. Local life is shaped by village amenities, school activities and leisure on the river, while the proximity of larger towns provides wider employment and services.
