About

Alverstoke occupies a prominent coastal position on the eastern side of the Gosport peninsula, facing the Solent. The area is largely defined by its residential character, with housing ranging from Victorian terraces to modern developments. Its shoreline includes the popular Stokes Bay, a long shingle beach offering direct views across to the Isle of Wight. The ward contains several local shopping parades catering to daily needs.

The geography is shaped by the former Royal Clarence Yard, a significant historic naval victualling site with converted buildings now forming a central part of the community. Alverstoke is also home to the Gosport War Memorial Hospital and the recreational spaces of Alver Valley Country Park. The area maintains a distinct identity separate from the more densely built-up centre of Gosport, with a focus on its immediate coastal and green spaces.
