About

Drayton and Farlington form a primarily residential northern ward of Portsmouth, situated on Portsea Island. The area is characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates, older suburban homes, and some modern developments. It borders the extensive tidal mudflats and marshes of Farlington Marshes, a significant local nature reserve. The ward contains several schools, local shopping parades, and recreational grounds, serving its community with essential amenities.

A notable feature is the historic Farlington Marshes, a circular coastal grassland habitat maintained by grazing cattle. The area is defined by the A27/M27 motorway corridor to the north, which acts as a physical boundary from the mainland. Drayton Park provides a large green space with sports facilities. The ward's layout reflects its growth through the 20th century, creating a settled neighbourhood distinct from the more densely built southern parts of the city.
