Ashurst is a small village on the edge of the New Forest in Hampshire, England, a short distance from the larger village of Lyndhurst and within easy reach of the Solent and Southampton. Set among heathland and ancient woodland typical of the New Forest, it shares the area’s commoning traditions and roaming ponies, making walking, cycling and wildlife-watching popular pastimes.

Historically the village grew with the arrival of the railway and today its modest economy is geared towards tourism, hospitality and commuters, with Ashurst New Forest station providing rail links towards Southampton and beyond. The place serves as a handy gateway to the national park, with a few pubs, B&Bs and outdoor-orientated businesses and a close-knit community that balances everyday village life with a steady flow of visitors.
