  • About Fawley

    Fawley stands at the very Eastern edge of the New Forest, almost on Southampton Water. The Parish has Bronze Age barrows, Roman remains and the old Roman road at Holbury and Stone Point, which was the landing point of the Saxons when they came from the Isle of Wight. It is perhaps best known for the large Fawley power station which dominates the landscape..

    For visitors interested in local history, the village of Fawley is mentioned in the Domesday book, and has a thriving local history society, the Fawley Historians which meets once month. They formed in 1958 as Fawley Local History Group, and since then has held regular monthly meetings (excluding August and December).
