Map of the UK

The ward sits on the western edge of the New Forest in Hampshire, running down to the Solent and including the coastal settlements of Fawley, Blackfield, Calshot and Langley. Sheltered estuaries, salt marshes and patches of heathland give the area a strong maritime and natural character, popular with birdwatchers and watersports enthusiasts.

It’s an area of contrasts: Fawley is shaped economically by the large oil refinery that has long been a major local employer, while Calshot is better known for Calshot Castle - a Tudor coastal fort - and a busy watersports and maritime heritage scene. Blackfield expanded as housing for industrial workers and retains a close-knit village feel, and Langley stays quieter and more rural; together they blend industrial history, coastal recreation and easy access to the wider New Forest.
