Things to do in Fordingbridge

The Fordingbridge Museum, which houses local history exhibits, and the Visitor Information Centre are located in King's Yard.

A few yards from the High Street is the parish church of St. Mary. Largely built in 1150 it has some typical Norman characteristics.

Not far from Fordingbridge is Alderholt Mill. There has been a Mill on this site since the 14th century, and. The Mill machinery was worked commercially until 1947, since then it was left to fall into disrepair. It was fully restored and successfully produced flour again in 1987. It is now a bed and breakfast, which opens the Mill for cream teas, sale of bread, flour etc, at weekends 2pm-6pm. A speciality is to offer bread made from their own freshly milled flour. Milling demonstrations take place on Sundays at 3pm between Easter and October.

Breamore church, a short drive south of Fordingbridge exhibits many Saxon features, and is believed to have been founded soon after 980 A.D.

Fishing at Riverside Park. Day permits available from the Visitor information Centre, or Q8 service station.

As always there are plenty of Forest walks for visitors to take and there is a good selection of local shops as well as an attractive children's playground and park alongside the river.
