Boundaries
The present boundaries date from 1932 when the parishes of Crofton, Hook with Warsash, Portchester, Sarisbury and Titchfield, all previously part of the Fareham Rural District were added to Fareham urban district.
The western boundary of the borough, with the Borough of Eastleigh, is the River Hamble. To the north is the City of Winchester; to the east the City of Portsmouth, a unitary authority; and to the south the Borough of Gosport. The south west and south east edges of the borough are both part of the British coastline, bordering the Solent.
