Romsey is a historic market town and civil parish in the Test Valley district of Hampshire, England, situated in the south of the country on the River Test. It lies about 7miles northwest of Southampton and 11miles southwest of Winchester, with the scenic New Forest nearby. The town has a population of around 15,000–20,000 residents and serves as one of the principal towns in the borough. Romsey’s roots reach back over a thousand years, and its heritage is reflected in landmarks such as Romsey Abbey, a large Norman church that dominates the town centre, medieval buildings like King John’s House, and historic sites like Broadlands - once home to notable figures including British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston and statesman Lord Mountbatten. The town combines its rich history with a lively present: traditional markets have taken place since the 11th century, and today Romsey offers a mix of independent shops, cafés, community events, and cultural attractions. Its riverside setting on the Test, famous for trout fishing, and its proximity to countryside walking and gardens make it appealing for both residents and visitors.
