Rowland's Castle

Rowland's Castle (or Rowlands Castle: the apostrophe is sometimes disputed) is a small village in the district of Havant, south-east Hampshire, England.

It is a largely a quiet residential village, with four pubs and a few small shops, including a hardware store, post office and local convenience store. It is served by a direct train link on the London Waterloo to Portsmouth line.

Former Van Morrison guitarist Herbie Armstrong operates The Fountain Inn in the centre of the village next to the Village Green. His weekly live music evenings attract music lovers from across the region, and have been known to include some famous faces; Mick Hucknall on one occasion.

In 1994 Stage 5 of the Tour de France passed through Rowland's Castle, attracting large crowds during one of the busiest days in the village's history.
