~ Brockenhurst ~
No one who lives in the New Forest village of Brockenhurst is surprised that it’s been officially declared ‘Britain’s Most Beautiful Place to Live’ by Leaders. The area is home to ponies, deer, donkeys and cows – all of which are known to roam the main street. Locals have the enchanting New Forest at their fingertips, a selection of warm and inviting pubs to enjoy and beautiful views in every direction.
“The countryside around the village is spectacular and Rhinefield Road is one of the prettiest places you could find.” This is where you can find the beauty spot Whitefield Moor.
The locals are justly proud of their secret places; the Watersplash Ford and ‘Brockenhurst Beach’, a swimming spot on the Lymington River.
Brockenhurst is in fact the largest village by population in the New Forest.
The Domesday Book shows records of four Saxon manors in what is now the Brockenhurst area. One of these manors, Broceste, is what gives the village its name. Another, Brochelie, was situated in a spot that is now The Watersplash Hotel.
