North Gorley is a small, quiet hamlet on the edge of the New Forest in Hampshire, England, set amid heathland and pockets of ancient woodland. The landscape is typically New Forest - open commons, gorse and silver birch - and you’ll often see the characteristic New Forest ponies and livestock grazing freely, giving the area a very rural, unhurried feel.

Historically the settlement has long ties to the forest’s commoning traditions and medieval forest law, and today its economy is a mix of agriculture, small-scale forestry and tourism, with holiday cottages and walking routes drawing visitors. Socially it’s a tight-knit community with many residents commuting to nearby towns such as Ringwood and Fordingbridge, while enjoying the peacefulness and natural heritage of the New Forest.
