The village of Brockenhurst sits in the heart of the New Forest in Hampshire, England. It’s a popular base for exploring ancient woodland, open heaths and the tracks where the famous New Forest ponies roam; the arrival of the railway in the 19th century helped it grow into a busy village with a pretty high street, thatched cottages and notable hotels such as the Balmer Lawn.
With a well‑used station offering regular services towards London and Bournemouth, Brockenhurst combines a tourism‑led economy - pubs, B&Bs and outdoor-activity businesses - with a close-knit local community, independent shops and a historic parish church. Lying within the conservation area of the New Forest National Park, conservation and recreation shape much of village life.
