What it's like to live in the New Forest?
The New Forest draws escapees from Hampshire, the Home Counties and London, including families in search of a better quality of life, retirees looking for quiet and community, and those attracted by the area’s opportunities to run, ride, cycle, kayak, sail or simply stroll. But where to buy? The New Forest SSSI encompasses 120 square miles and the National Park covers 219 square miles – a vast chunk of land for a property search.
