Bedhampton is a former village, and now suburb, located in the borough of Havant, Hampshire, England.[2] It is located at the northern end of Langstone Harbour and at the foot of the eastern end of Portsdown Hill.
Early mentions of Bedhampton are recorded in the ninth century, and the village was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.[3]
Modern Bedhampton has a railway station,[4] with regular services to Portsmouth, Brighton, and London, and less frequent services to Southampton, Bristol, and South Wales. The A27 and the A3(M) pass through the south-west part of Bedhampton. There is a community centre in Bedhampton village which has two coffee mornings per week to address potential community isolation.
