East Boldre is a small village and civil parish set on the edge of the New Forest in Hampshire, England. It sits amid heathland and ancient woodland, with the characteristic New Forest ponies and commoning rights still evident; the proximity to the Solent and coastal towns such as Lymington makes it popular with walkers, cyclists and wildlife enthusiasts.
The community has a strong conservation and rural identity, with much of the local economy tied to tourism, small businesses and forestry rather than heavy industry. Historically the village grew as a foresters’ and commoners’ settlement and even hosted an early 20th‑century flying field used during the First World War; today it retains a quiet, close‑knit feel with village events and a steady flow of visitors enjoying the landscape.
