Brockenhurst Village
Brockenhurst - officially named the most beautiful place to live in the UK. Brockenhurst, New Forest, Hampshire, lies within the Heritage Area of the New Forest - William the Conqueror's forest is a unique landscape of international renown. Europe's largest surviving area of ancient pasture woodland. Brockenhurst is within the New Forest National Park. In Brockenhurst the New Forest is all around you and wild ponies, deer and cows roam at will. The Rhinefield Ornamental Drive is worth a visit, especially when the rhododendrons are in bloom in the spring. There is a wide range of accommodation - have a look at our Brockenhurst hotels, B&Bs, Self-Catering or a good selection of Brockenhurst campsites.
The
North and South Weirs streams join and as one flow through Brockenhurst.
In Brookley Road in the warmer months of the year the stream flows
across the road, commonly referred to as The Splash.
This is fine in summer and autumn but when the weather is colder, with
possibility of the road icing over the pipes under the road are opened
to take the flow. There is a second ford in the Waters Green area of
the village and this flows continuously throughout the year. From beyond
this the Weirs stream meets the river formed by the Blackwater and
Ober Water to become the Lymington River.
Although set in a delightful forest environment, Brockenhurst has road and rail communications with the rest of the country that rival what is found in many large towns. The M3 motorway access to the M27 from junction 13 and via junction 1 on the M27 there is access to the A337, Cadnam, Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst, Lymington Road.
