North Baddesley is a sizeable village and civil parish in the Test Valley district of Hampshire, England, lying between Romsey and Southampton. The area has a semi-rural feel with pockets of post‑war and later suburban development, easy road connections that put larger employment and cultural centres within commuting distance and proximity to the chalk stream landscapes that characterise the wider valley and nearby New Forest fringes.
Dating back to medieval origins, the village retains a degree of historic character around its older buildings while functioning today as a mixed residential community with local shops, schools, sports clubs and active community groups. Economically it blends small local businesses and light industry with a large commuter population travelling to nearby towns and cities such as Winchester and Southampton, and socially it is known for village events, clubs and a strong parish identity.
