How to get here
The New Forest lies to the west of Southampton Water in south-west Hampshire. You can travel here by train, arriving at Ashurst, Brockenhurst, Sway or New Milton, or by bus. Visit transport for more information. If you're driving from Southampton, London or the east, exit the M27 at Junction 1, signed Cadnam and head southwards into the New Forest. If you are travelling from the west, you can use the A31 from Dorset. From the north, take either the A338 from Salisbury to Ringwood in the west of the Forest, or the A36 to Totton in the east.
