Find out what makes Itchen Valley a special place to visit

Nestled on the outskirts of Southampton, Itchen Valley Country Park is set in 440 acres of beautiful water meadows, woodland and meadows situated beside the River Itchen and has been recognised with 15 Green Flag Awards®

The park is currently undergoing a major £3.3 million transformation with a range of exciting improvements.

Itchen Valley is home to 6 free play areas for children to enjoy. We believe it’s important for children to enjoy their time spent outdoors! All of our play areas encourage exploration, risk taking, imaginative play and team building!
