The ward of Marchwood & Eling sits on the western shore of Southampton Water in the district of New Forest, Hampshire, England. It takes in the more industrialised village of Marchwood, with its military port and small business estate, and the older riverside settlement of Eling, famous for the working Eling Tide Mill by the mouth of the River Test. Saltmarshes and mudflats around the estuary give the area a strong nature interest and make it popular with walkers and birdwatchers, while proximity to Southampton means commuter links are straightforward.
The local character mixes maritime and military heritage - the Marchwood Military Port is a notable logistics hub - with a village atmosphere of pubs, sailing clubs and active conservation groups. Eling's tide mill is a rare surviving example of tidal industry and a focal point for local history, and residents value easy access to the New Forest and the Solent coast despite being close to larger urban centres.
