About

The Worthys ward lies to the northeast of Winchester city centre, encompassing the distinct communities of Kings Worthy and Headbourne Worthy. It is a primarily residential area characterised by a mix of housing developments, local shops, and schools. The ward is bordered by the River Itchen, with water meadows and walking paths along its course providing green space. Transport links include the M3 motorway and the railway line, which runs through the area.

The landscape is marked by the presence of the Itchen Navigation, a historic canal system. St. Mary's Church in Headbourne Worthy is a notable Saxon-era building with a rare thatched roof. The ward maintains a separate village character from the city, with its own community facilities and events. Agriculture still plays a role in the surrounding land, contributing to the area's setting within the wider Hampshire countryside.
