Fordingbridge is known as the northern gateway to the New Forest. It is certainly a lovely place to stay if you want to explore this stunning National Park. Once known for smuggling the town's history is an interesting one. For more modern day activities there is a selection of independents shops and delicious restaurants here. For more excellent walks and nature, take a short drive over to Cranborne Chase, it's a pretty place to spend a day.
