Hollybank Lane

Street guide, Emsworth

Hollybank Lane runs through the Hermitage area of Emsworth, providing a residential route through one of the town's quieter neighbourhoods. The lane has a semi-rural character, with hedgerows and mature trees along sections giving it a green, enclosed feel that is unusual for a street within the built-up area. Housing is a mix of inter-war and post-war detached and semi-detached houses, many with good-sized gardens. The lane connects to the footpath network that leads to Hampshire Farm Meadows, the local nature reserve. The area is popular with families and those who value the proximity to green space and the harbour shore without being in the more expensive town centre or harbour-front locations. The lane is quiet, carrying mainly local traffic.
