Ower lies on the A36 road northwest of Totton. It lies mostly within the civil parish of Copythorne (where the majority of the population was included),[1] although buildings on the east side of the road are in the civil parish of Netley Marsh.[2] It is, however, somewhat cut off from these two parishes by the M27 motorway which passes immediately to the south of the hamlet.

There are two pubs in Ower, called The Mortimer Arms,[3] and The Vine Inn. It also is where the theme park Paultons Park is situated.[4]
