About

Ballard is located in the northern part of the New Forest, bordering the town of New Milton. The area consists primarily of open heathland and woodland, characteristic of the wider national park. Its landscape includes gentle slopes and areas of gorse and bracken, providing habitat for the Forest's free-roaming ponies and cattle.

A notable local feature is Ballard Down, a chalk hill that forms the western end of the Isle of Purbeck's ridge. From this elevated point, there are clear views over Poole Harbour and the surrounding heath. The area is traversed by a network of public footpaths and is largely undeveloped, maintaining a quiet, rural atmosphere.
