Cadnam is a village situated in Hampshire, England, within the boundaries of the New Forest National Park.
The village has existed since the medieval period, when it was (and still is) an important crossroads between Southampton and the towns of Bournemouth and Poole.
Etymologically, the village was named after the farmstead (or "ham") of a man named Cadda. Currently, Cadnam is included in the Parish of Copythorne, a smaller village lying a mile to the north.
The start (Junction 1) of the M27 motorway is at Cadnam. There are a number of pubs in Cadnam, including the White Hart (After White Hart), and The Sir John Barleycorn (After John Barleycorn). There is also a hotel, The Bartley Lodge Hotel, and a Methodist Church which is currently closed for redecorating. Services are instead being held at the Copythorne Parish Hall.
Surrounding villages are Copythorne, and Bartley.
Sport
Cadnam is home to Cadnam Cricket Club (established in 1880) who play on the Lambs Corner ground (adjacent to the road to Lyndhurst).
