Badger Farm is a largely late-20th-century housing estate just south of Winchester in Hampshire, built on former farmland and centred on community facilities, parks and primary schooling. It is primarily residential, popular with families and commuters, and has a mix of green open space and local shops that give it a suburban, village-like feel despite its relatively recent development.
Oliver's Battery sits on the high chalk ridge overlooking Winchester, its name recalling an earthwork reputedly linked to Civil War artillery and often associated in local tradition with Oliver Cromwell; the hill provides wide views across the city and towards the South Downs. The settlement is smaller and more villagey in character, with older cottages and post‑war homes clustered around a village green and recreation ground, and a strong local identity tied to the landscape and historic setting.
