Ower is a small, quiet hamlet on the edge of the New Forest in Hampshire, England. It sits amid heathland and mixed woodland typical of the national park, so the area is popular with walkers, riders and anyone keen on seeing the region’s free-roaming ponies and old commoning traditions.
Historically the settlement has roots in agriculture and forestry, and today it largely combines a rural feel with practical links to nearby towns such as Totton and Lyndhurst and the larger employment and services of Southampton. Local life tends to revolve around outdoor recreation and small-scale businesses rather than heavy industry, giving Ower a strongly community-oriented, semi-rural character.
