About

Hedge End, Wildern, and Botley South form a primarily residential area on the eastern edge of the Borough of Eastleigh. The landscape is characterised by modern housing estates, local shopping parades, and significant areas of managed green space, including the expansive Hedge End Recreation Ground. The area is well-connected by the M27 motorway, which defines its southern boundary, and serves as a commuter base for Southampton and Eastleigh.
