A
short History of Eling
Totton and Eling is a town and civil parish in
Hampshire, UK, with a population of around 28,000
people. It is situated on the eastern edge of the New
Forest and on the River Test, close to the city of
Southampton and part of the city's urban area.
Totton claimed to be the largest village in England
until it was made a town in 1974. Until the 1950s, New
Forest ponies were free to roam its streets.
Totton's town centre hasn't changed much since the
seventies and it only has Commercial Road and the A35
causeway as the main exit routes from the town.
The areas behind Calmore Industrial Estate by the river
Test have been regenerated for boating with lakes, but
its main use is fishing and as a water supply resource.
The is also the Testwood Lakes Centre, with walks along
the Test Way running from Totton to Inkpen Beacon in
Berkshire, via Romsey in Hampshire.
Eling can be accessed by crossing the railway line which
divides the original old village of Totton and the areas
of Eling, and Hounsdown. This goes to Brokenford which
has some pathways from Totton to the A35 Bypass road at
Eling recreation ground, by Bartley Water.
