Rowlands Castle is a village and civil parish in the East Hampshire district of Hampshire, England. It is 2.9 miles (4.7 km) north of Havant, on the Hampshire/West Sussex border.
The focal point of the village is the village green which is shaped somewhat like a lung. Surrounded by roads it is about 250 yards (230 m) long and about 40 yards (37 m) wide at its eastern end while tapering to almost 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 west of the railway line, east of the current centre of the village.
