About

Cosham North sits at the northern gateway to Portsmouth, bordered by the A3(M) and the main railway line. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of interwar and post-war housing estates. Its geography is defined by the gentle slopes of Portsdown Hill to the north, which provides a distinct backdrop. The local centre along Havant Road offers essential shops and services, catering to the immediate community.

The area is notable for its proximity to the historic fortifications of Portsdown Hill, with the ramparts of Fort Widley visible from many streets. This creates a direct link to the city's military heritage.

The open downland of the hill offers accessible green space for walking above the urban landscape.
