About

Botley ward encompasses the village of Botley itself, along with surrounding hamlets like Boorley Green and part of Hedge End. The area is characterised by a mix of older residential properties near the historic high street and more modern housing developments. Large areas of farmland and woodland, including parts of the Itchen Valley, define its rural edges. The River Hamble forms part of the ward's western boundary.

The high street retains a traditional layout with independent shops and a central square. Botley Mill, a former watermill on the River Hamble, is a notable historic landmark. The ward includes several community facilities, sports fields, and allotments. Its location provides access to the M27 motorway, connecting it to Southampton and Eastleigh.
