About

Forest & Solent is a coastal ward in the western New Forest district, characterised by its varied landscapes. The area includes the village of Fawley, known for its industrial presence, and the residential settlements of Holbury and Blackfield. It borders the expansive Southampton Water, a major shipping channel, and contains sections of the New Forest National Park's woodland and heath inland.

The shoreline features the salt marshes and mudflats of the Solent, a key habitat for wading birds. A notable local feature is the Exbury Gardens, with its renowned collection of rhododendrons and azaleas. The ward's geography creates a distinct contrast between its working waterfront, quiet villages, and protected forest environments.
