Bursledon

About

Bursledon is a village on the River Hamble in Hampshire and is located within the borough of Eastleigh.

Close to the city of Southampton, Bursledon has a railway station, a marina and dockyards.

The original bridge carrying what is now the A27 road across the River Hamble was made of wood in 1783, and was a toll bridge. Bursledon's waterside position and woodland surroundings made it a natural location for building wooden ships.
