Burley is a compact village and civil parish tucked in the heart of the New Forest, Hampshire, England. It sits amid sweeping heathland and ancient oak woodland, the landscape still shaped by commoning: ponies, cattle and deer roam freely and the area is popular with walkers, cyclists and anyone after a quiet rural escape.
Historically the village grew around timber and charcoal production and carries a few colourful folk legends of smugglers and witches. Today its economy leans on tourism and local crafts, with thatched cottages, traditional inns, tea rooms and small shops giving the place a cosy, old‑fashioned feel, while an active commoning community and seasonal events keep local life lively.
