Owslebury Bottom is a hamlet in the civil parish of Owslebury in the City of Winchester district of Hampshire, England. Its nearest town is Winchester, which lies approximately 4.2miles north-west from the village. William Cobbett rode through the hamlet in his 1820s book Rural Rides. He described it as "half a dozen timbered houses in the ownership of Lord Mildmay, a small church of recent construction, and a tract of good soil used to cultivate wheat, being of good quality, of which the majority is milled at the City Mill in Winchester".[1]
It is served by a bus from Winchester around once every two hours.
