Map of the UK

Marchwood is a village and civil parish tucked on the western shore of Southampton Water where the River Test meets the Solent, set within the fringes of the New Forest in Hampshire, England. It sits a few miles west of Southampton and close to neighbours such as Totton and Hythe, giving it a blend of coastal views, estuary mudflats and easy access to heathland and woodland walks in the national park.

Marchwood is notable for its working waterfront and military logistics presence - the Marchwood Military Port and a nearby industrial estate give the village a strong maritime and commercial character alongside traditional village life. There are historic roots and local community amenities typical of a small Hampshire village, so residents and visitors enjoy both outdoor recreation linked to the New Forest and the practical links to the ports and services of nearby Southampton.
