Fareham Town is the central ward covering the historic centre of Fareham in Hampshire, England. Sitting on the north‑west shore of Portsmouth Harbour near the mouth of the River Wallington, and between Portsmouth and Southampton, it combines Georgian and Victorian streets, a long‑running market and a mix of independent shops and modern retail.
The local economy is driven by retail, public services and a steady commuter population linked to nearby naval and commercial employers; community life includes regular markets and local events, easy access to coastal walks along the Solent and nearby historic sites such as Titchfield Abbey, giving the ward a blend of everyday practicality and local character.
