Rowland's Castle
Rowlands Castle is a village and also civil parish in the East Hampshire area of Hampshire, England. It is 2.9 miles (4.7 km) north of Havant, on the Hampshire/West Sussex border. The prime focus of the village is the village green which is shaped rather like a lung. Bordered by roads it has to do with 250 yards (230 m) long and around 40 backyards (37 m) vast at its eastern end while tapering to virtually a point at the western end near the railway arch. The village takes its name from a motte-and-bailey castle, the remains of which are situated to the south of Redhill Road and also west of the train line, eastern of the present centre of the village. It is mostly a silent domestic town, with four clubs and a few little stores, consisting of a hardware shop as well as a local corner store, and a population of 2,770.
