A Bit About Botley

Botley is a charming village in Hampshire with a rich and ancient history. Described by journalist and politician William Cobbett as the world’s most delightful village back in the 18th century, it is a highly desirable residential area today and a historic crossing point on the River Hamble. 

History

King Henry III gave Botley its market charter in 1267, and it’s still a busy market town today. Key industries that sprang up over the years included coaching inns, travel and the strawberry growing industry. The village probably dates back to Roman times, when it was an important crossing point on the river. The river has played a vital part in its development over the years, particularly with regard to its hospitality industries and market, which included a large cattle market in medieval times.
