Sitting at the heart of the New Forest National Park, Brockenhurst is a village where the surrounding heathland and ancient woodland dictate the pace of life. It’s one of the few places in the country where livestock - ponies, donkeys, and cattle - roam freely through the village streets, a right held by the local ‘commoners’ for centuries. Practically, it serves as a central hub for the forest; the railway station provides a direct link to London Waterloo in about ninety minutes, while the A337 connects the village to the coastal town of Lymington and the city of Southampton. Despite its popularity with visitors, the village maintains a grounded community feel, centered around a primary school, a tertiary college, and a high street that provides for daily needs without feeling overly commercial. The landscape here is flat but heavily wooded, punctuated by the Lymington River, which often spills across the road at the well-known watersplash at the end of the village.
