St Leonards is a residential area within the parish of Ringwood, situated on the western edge of the New Forest National Park. The landscape is characterised by heathland and woodland, with housing estates integrated into this setting.

A notable local landmark is the former St Leonards Hospital, a Victorian building that has been converted into private apartments. The area provides direct access to the open heath of the New Forest, where ponies and cattle roam freely. This creates a distinct transition from suburban streets to protected common land.
