Wellow is a rural civil parish in Test Valley, Hampshire, England, sitting on the northern fringe of the New Forest a few miles south‑east of Romsey. The parish comprises the small settlements of East and West Wellow and is characterised by rolling chalk downland, pockets of ancient woodland and small watercourses, making it popular for walking, riding and other outdoor pursuits.
Historically agricultural, Wellow retains a mix of traditional cottages and farmsteads alongside later housing and functions partly as a commuter base for nearby towns and cities. Local life revolves around a parish church, village hall and a couple of pubs, with active community and conservation efforts to protect the landscape and local heritage.
