Netley Marsh is a small village and civil parish on the western edge of the New Forest district in Hampshire, England, a short drive from Southampton and the town of Totton. The landscape is a mix of heathland, mixed woodland and small farms with the occasional marshy hollow – the low-lying ground is what gave the settlement its name and contributes to the parish’s quiet, semi-rural character.
Locally the community leans on a blend of agriculture, small enterprises and commuters who work in nearby towns, while visitors come for walking and wildlife in the surrounding New Forest habitats. Historically the area has been shaped by commoning and forest management, and today the village keeps that rural feel with a village hall, a few pubs and community groups that run local events and activities.
