Rowlands Castle

About

Rowlands Castle ward encompasses a largely rural area centred around the village of the same name. The landscape is characterised by rolling fields, pockets of woodland, and the gentle slopes of the Hampshire Downs. The settlement itself is linear, following the historic route of the A3 road, with residential streets branching off into quieter neighbourhoods. The area retains a distinct sense of separation from the larger urban centres to the north and south.

The community is anchored by the village green and the notable railway station, a surviving stop on the Portsmouth Direct Line. Local life revolves around the primary school, several shops, and traditional pubs. A key local feature is the series of large, spring-fed ponds near the centre, originally created to power an old corn mill. These ponds, surrounded by mature trees and walking paths, form a significant green space within the village.
