The Local Area Of Old Bursledon

The conservation area of Old Bursledon is a village, on the River Hamble in Hampshire, renowned for its outstanding natural beauty. Often referred to as the sheltered haven, Old Bursledon is perfectly suited for yachts and motorboats alike. It is one of the River Hamble’s best-kept secrets. The neighbouring Elephant boatyard offers sheltered pontoon births, shore facilities, water, and electricity. The yard is situated on the site where HMS Elephant was built in 1786, Nelson’s flagship during the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801. It has been a working boatyard ever since.
