About

Holbury South sits at the southern edge of the New Forest district in Hampshire, arranged around a mix of mid-20th century housing and later infill. The area grew in scale as homes were built to serve workers at the nearby oil refinery in Fawley, and that history is still visible in the layout of several residential streets and the placement of a local parade of shops. Community facilities include a primary school, a parish hall and playing fields that are used for local sports and events.

Footpaths and short lanes lead from the neighbourhood into stretches of woodland and heath that are part of the wider New Forest landscape, offering direct access to common land without crossing main roads. Regular local bus services link Holbury South with Totton and Southampton for shopping and rail connections. Day-to-day life in Holbury South centres on small-scale amenities, volunteer groups and school activities, with the pattern of post-war development and the surviving community buildings marking the area’s shape more than any single landmark.
