Blackwater is a small hamlet in south-western Hampshire, just north-east of Bournemouth and north-west of Christchurch. It is gathered around or obliterated by a large, grade-separated junction between the A338 Ringwood to Bournemouth road and the B3073 road to Bournemouth Airport and to Christchurch

Visitors pass through Blackwater without noticing, on the grade separated road junction here.

Blackwater was once the site of a ferry crossing on the River Stour.[1]
