Holbury is a village in Hampshire, England. It is part of the parish of Fawley.
==Overview== Historically a small and scarcely populated village, Holbury and the adjoining hamlet of Hardley now has a sizeable population of approximately 6000, and a considerable number of shops and businesses. This growth has been principally due to the influence of the Esso oil refinery at Fawley and the area's proximity to the city of Southampton.
