Ower is a small village on the western edge of the New Forest in Hampshire, England, lying just a short drive from the larger town of Totton and within easy reach of Southampton. Its setting gives a feeling of countryside on the fringe of urban areas, with access to the heathland, ancient woods and commoning traditions that characterise the New Forest.
The settlement is largely residential with a handful of local businesses, and many residents commute to nearby towns for work. Socially and culturally it benefits from the outdoor lifestyle of the forest - walking, cycling and riding are common - and the wider historic identity of the New Forest as a royal hunting ground contributes to a strong local sense of place.
