* Areas highlighted in red do not show officially designated green belt, but green space separating conurbations. However, it is likely some or all of the space highlighted will be green belt.

The south coast cities of Portsmouth and Southampton now just about join up as one large urban area. Travelling west from Portsmouth through Portchester, then the town of Fareham, then Titchfield, Park Gate and then Burlesdon on the outskirts of Southampton, will mean a journey of 19.5 miles through residential areas. If the journey was done, a bit further to the south, through Lee on Solent, you would go through a few miles of farm fields, to the south of Park Gate and Titchfield.
