The New Forest

The New Forest is one of the UK’s most enchanting rural settings; a unique blend of ancient woodland, open heathland and characterful villages. Nestled in the south of Hampshire and stretching into Wiltshire, it offers a rich, unspoilt lifestyle just minutes from the south coast and within reach of London.

A Rare and Protected Landscape

Established as a National Park in 2005, the New Forest covers over 500 square kilometres of protected land. Its landscapes are home to roaming ponies and deer, winding country lanes and picture-perfect settlements steeped in heritage. For buyers seeking nature, privacy and charm, the New Forest offers a rare opportunity to put down roots in one of the country’s most distinctive environments.

From period thatched cottages and elegant farmhouses to hidden equestrian properties and coastal retreats, the New Forest delivers a broad range of country homes, all within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Why Move to the New Forest?  

  • Wild beauty on your doorstep: With thousands of acres of open access land, the New Forest is ideal for walking, horse riding, cycling and wildlife spotting - all part of everyday life here.
  • Thriving rural villages and coastal access: Enjoy lively community life in traditional villages like Burley, Lymington and Sway, all offering excellent pubs, local markets and independent shops.
  • Convenient, but tucked away: Despite its peaceful setting, the New Forest offers good connections to Southampton, Bournemouth and London via train and road - ideal for those balancing a rural life with work or family elsewhere.
  • Excellent schooling options: There’s a strong mix of reputable schools in the surrounding areas, both state and independent. Visit the Good Schools Guide for more information.
