About

Fair Oak & Horton Heath ward is a largely residential area in the eastern part of the Borough of Eastleigh. It encompasses the separate villages of Fair Oak and Horton Heath, along with surrounding farmland and newer housing developments. The landscape is characterised by a mix of older village centres and modern estates, with areas of open countryside and woodland in between. The ward is situated away from the main urban centre of Eastleigh itself.

Local infrastructure includes several schools, shops, and community facilities centred on each village. The area is defined by its semi-rural setting, with the River Itchen forming part of its western boundary. Recreational spaces like Fair Oak Recreation Ground and the network of footpaths through the fields and copses provide green space for residents.
