Sopley Hampshire Map

About Sopley

Sopley, a quiet Hampshire hamlet, breathes the soft air of the New Forest. It lies 3.8 km north of Christchurch (from Christchurch: bearing 4°T, OS grid SZ 157 970), and is situated north-north-west of Winkton village. The River Avon, a gentle presence, murmurs close by, its waters reflecting the pale, luminous sky that often graces this corner of England. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and dog rose, trace the boundaries of its fields, hinting at a long agricultural past. The village church, St. Michael and All Angels, stands as a sentinel of weathered stone, its spire a quiet aspiration against the broad expanse of the heavens. Here, the light seems to fall with a particular softness, imbuing the landscape with a sense of enduring peace.
