Bursledon is a riverside village in the borough of Eastleigh, Hampshire, England, sitting on the east bank of the River Hamble not far from Southampton and the Solent. Its mix of creeks, marinas and waterside footpaths makes it a quiet hub for boating and walking, with a strong visible connection to the sea and estuary landscapes.
The village has a maritime and industrial past – shipbuilding and brickmaking left a mark on the area – and you can still find local heritage in places such as the Bursledon Windmill and the preserved Bursledon Brickworks. Today it combines a small local economy of maritime services, shops and pubs with a commuter population, and retains a lively community feel centred on sailing clubs, village events and riverside life.
