Welcome to Upper Shirley

Upper Shirley is a small village located in the county of Hampshire, England. It is situated on the eastern bank of the River Test, which is known for its clear waters and abundance of trout. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and fields of crops stretching out in every direction. The area is popular with walkers and cyclists, who come to explore the many footpaths and bridleways that criss-cross the landscape.

Despite its rural location, Upper Shirley is within easy reach of several towns and cities. Southampton is just a short drive away, and offers a wide range of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. Winchester, the ancient capital of England, is also nearby, and is home to a stunning cathedral and a wealth of historic buildings. For those who prefer the great outdoors, the New Forest National Park is just a few miles to the east, and offers miles of unspoilt woodland and heathland to explore.

The village itself is small but charming, with a handful of traditional cottages and a pub, The Hatchet Inn, which dates back to the 17th century. The pub is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, and serves a range of real ales and hearty pub grub. There is also a small village hall, which hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including a popular annual fete in the summer. Overall, Upper Shirley is a peaceful and picturesque village that offers a taste of rural life in the heart of Hampshire.

Local Dog Walks

Swanwick Nature Reserve
Swanwick Nature Reserve Can Be Found At The End Of Sopwith Way To The Rear Of The National Air Traffic Site In Swanwick. There Is A Small Car Park But If Necessary, You Can Park (Considerately) Along Sopwith Way. The Nature Reserve Consists Of Three Walks Marked Red (Short), Blue (Around The Lake) And Yellow (Longest). By Following The Marked Posts It Is Possible To Do A Combination. Poo Bins Are Provided Along The Walk Routes. We Found This To Be A Very Pleasant Walk But Be Prepared For Some Inclines Which Can Be A Bit Slippery Underfoot At Certain Times. As This Is A Nature Reserve, Please Ensure You Pick Up And Are Mindful Of The Wildlife!! 5 Sopwith Way Swanwick Southampton SO31 7AY 1.60 miles Sopwith Way, Swanwick To The Rear Of Nats

Wickham Disused Railway / Meon Valley Trail
A Lovely Walk Along A Disused Railway And Straight Grit Pathway. It Runs Through Woodland, Under A Few Old Railway Bridges, And Past Some Streams. It Can Be A Little Muddy In A Few Places, But It’S Relatively Flat. There Can Be Cyclists Or The Occasional Horse With Rider, But There’S Space For Your Dog To Sniff Around For Exciting Smells. There’S Free Parking, And Wickham Has A Few Dog Friendly Tea-Rooms/Small Restaurants. It Can Get A Little Busy At The Weekend If You Leave It Too Late, But It Didn’T Cause Us Any Issues. There Aren’T Very Many Bins En-Route, But I Keep A Little Poo Bag Holder, So It Wasn’T An Issue. We Had A Pleasant Walk, And Wickham Is Very Quaint! Wickham 2.71 miles
