Bramshaw
A hamlet of Lyndhurst, this little village has an interesting church and the highest point in the New Forest - Piper's Wait.

Brockenhurst
One of the larger New Forest villages, surrounded by open heathland and woodland walks, there's a 'watersplash' where wild beasts of the bovine and equine varieties congregate having wandered the streets of this olde worlde town.
5
Burley
A traditional New Forest village filled full of olde worlde charm - witches and other-worldly goings-on give character to the quaint area where ponies and cattle roam freely among the thatched buildings, despite having acres of heathland surrounding the area to graze and Burley Beacon to climb.
6
Bursledon
Found in the borough of Eastleigh, Bursledon is a riverside village, perfectly located to explore the best of Hampshire. Within easy reach of Southampton, the village has strong marine connections as well as a railway station, windmill and brickworks museum. There are several country parks within easy reach, ideal for walkers.

Eling
Wander your way to the Old Quay at Eling and investigate the Mill and Heritage Centre before meandering along the reed-lined riverbank and watching a working tide mill in action - a rare sight!
8
Exbury
Bordered by the Beaulieu river and the shore of the Solent, Exbury is known for its world famous gardens that were created by Lionel De Rothschild one hundred years ago. Seasonal changes are most apparent here, so rock up in Spring or get to the hues in Autumn.
9
Fordingbridge
Fordingbridge has a stunning example of a medieval stone bridge with seven fine arches providing the crossing point of the Avon river, upstream from the ford namesake. Legends of smuggling make for interesting history trips and money from its industrial past mean it is a bustling town today. Make sure you head out of town across the cycleways to Rockbourne Roman Villa.
10
Fritham
Fritham in the New Forest is a little village to the north that is home to such delights as The Butt (a Bronze Age bowl barrow) and the unofficial 'forest parliament'. But most importantly it has The Royal Oak, one of the oldest pubs in the area.
