Locks Heath
Welcome to Locks Heath!
Hidden on the western side of Fareham, Locks Heath village has always been one filled with community and bustling business.

With wine merchants, butchers, children’s play cafes, and more – Locks Heath is a village filled with life and a great option for your outings.
