About Burley

Set deep in the Forest to the west of Brockenhurst, this village is extremely popular with a wealth of tea rooms, gift shops, art galleries and a Pick Your Own Farm. Burley features everything you would expect from a traditional, old, New Forest village.

When in Burley do not be surprised to see ponies and cattle roaming freely around the village, picturesque thatched cottages tucked away in unexpected places help conjure up how life was in the past. Burley has remained untouched by time, steeped in old customs and history, enabling visitors to unwind and enjoy its tranquil simplicity.

Outside the village miles of open heathland provide good walking, cycling and riding. Burley was a famous centre for smuggling and is renowned for its association with witches, both ancient and modern.
