West Wellow, Romsey

Location:
One of the larger villages in the Test Valley, Wellow offers an ideal blend of traditional charm and modern convenience.  Straddling the River Blackwater, the twin villages of East and West Wellow are nestled between the A27 and A36, providing excellent commuter access and direct routes to the scenic New Forest at Canada Common - perfect for dog walking, cycling, and riding.

Wellow boasts a wide array of amenities, including a supermarket, butcher, hairdresser, pharmacy, and a traditional DIY store.  The community is especially proud of Carlo's Tea Rooms, famed for its homemade ice cream.  Educational needs are well met, with a highly regarded village school and inclusion in the catchment area for Mountbatten Secondary School, alongside proximity to Hampshire Collegiate Private School.

Recreational life in Wellow is vibrant, with thriving cricket, football, and tennis clubs.  Social life is enriched by two well-loved local pubs: the Red Rover and The Rockingham Arms.  The active village hall further supports a strong sense of community.
