Bursledon and Hound North is a riverside and semi-rural area in the borough of Eastleigh, Hampshire, England, straddling the tidal slopes of the River Hamble and looking towards Southampton Water. It mixes suburban housing with village centres such as Bursledon and parts of Hound, framed by marshes, country walks and pockets of greenbelt that make it popular with commuters who appreciate quick road and rail links into Southampton and beyond.
The place has a distinctive maritime and rural character: historic boatyards and a yachting culture on the river sit alongside landmarks like the preserved Bursledon Windmill, while local clubs, village halls and community events keep a strong social life. Economically it blends commuter households with small local businesses and leisure-focused services, and conservation interests are important because of the sensitive estuary landscape and nearby coastal habitats.
