About

Barton & Becton is a coastal ward on the western edge of the New Forest National Park. It encompasses the village of Barton-on-Sea and the hamlet of Becton. The area is defined by its clifftop position overlooking the Solent, with views towards the Isle of Wight. The local landscape includes residential areas, a golf course, and stretches of undeveloped coastline.

The geology of the clay and sandstone cliffs is significant, with ongoing coastal erosion shaping the environment. Barton-on-Sea is known for its fossil-rich Barton Beds, a specific geological formation. The ward contains a mix of housing and local shops, with access to the beach via sloping paths. The coastline here forms part of a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest.
