Fire Safety Services in Bursledon
Bursledon is a picturesque village and civil parish in the Borough of Eastleigh, Hampshire, located on the eastern bank of the River Hamble near Southampton. With a population of around 6,200, it retains a blend of rural charm and maritime heritage. The village is known for its historic Bursledon Windmill—Hampshire’s only working windmill, built in 1814—and the iconic waterside pub, the Jolly Sailor, which gained national attention through its appearance in the BBC drama Howards’ Way. The area is surrounded by woodlands, marinas, and conservation spaces, giving it a tranquil and characterful atmosphere.
Bursledon is well connected by both road and rail. The local railway station sits on the West Coastway Line, offering regular services to Southampton, Portsmouth, and Brighton. By road, the village is close to the A27 and the M27 motorway, providing excellent access to Southampton, Eastleigh, Fareham, and the M3 corridor. The River Hamble also supports a significant amount of marine traffic, with local marinas and moorings attracting boat owners and maritime businesses.
The economy in Bursledon is shaped by maritime services, heritage tourism, and small specialist enterprises. Boatbuilding and marine servicing remain active along the River Hamble, supported by well-known establishments such as the Elephant Boatyard and various outboard engine repair businesses. Tourism also plays a key role, with attractions like Bursledon Windmill, Manor Farm living history museum, and the River Hamble Country Park bringing in visitors and supporting local employment. Many residents commute to nearby Southampton or Eastleigh for work in healthcare, education, logistics, or marine engineering.

To the east lies Hamble-le-Rice, famous for its sailing clubs and boatyards; to the west is Netley, home to the Royal Victoria Country Park; Swanwick and Sarisbury Green are nearby to the north; and Curdridge lies just a short distance inland. The village is also near major transport hubs like Southampton Airport and Eastleigh, and attractions such as Bursledon Brickworks Museum—a preserved Victorian steam-powered brickworks—offer unique local interest.
Bursledon offers a vibrant local community with a strong sense of identity. The area hosts riverside pubs, community events, heritage open days, and environmental initiatives.
