About

Hordle and Bashley are neighbouring villages on the southwestern edge of the New Forest National Park. The area is characterised by a mix of residential development and open countryside, with many properties backing onto woodland or heath. It sits inland from the Solent coast, with the main A337 road providing a connection to Lymington and the forest interior. The landscape includes pockets of the forest's typical heathland, crossed by quiet lanes and public footpaths.

Local life centres around village greens, a few shops, and traditional pubs. The area is known for its equestrian connections, with stables and paddocks common. A specific local landmark is the 13th-century St John the Baptist Church in Hordle, which stands separate from the current village centre after coastal erosion forced community relocation centuries ago. The terrain gently slopes towards the coast, with some areas offering distant views over the Solent to the Isle of Wight.
