Purbrook

Purbrook ward is a residential area situated on the northern edge of the Borough of Havant, bordering the South Downs National Park. The landscape is characterised by a mix of housing developments from various eras and significant areas of woodland and open space. Its western boundary is largely defined by the London to Portsmouth railway line. The local geography includes the slopes of Portsdown Hill, which provides a prominent backdrop and influences the area's layout.

The community is served by local shops, schools, and pubs centred along the main road through the village. Recreational space is provided by Purbrook Heath and the wider access to the downland. The area maintains a distinct identity separate from the larger urban areas to its south, with a notable historical connection to the military presence on Portsdown Hill, evidenced by the former fortifications now repurposed within the landscape.
