Bere
 

The Forest of Bere is the nearest and most accessible countryside for many of the residents of south-east Hampshire. It is a mixture of woodland, open space, heathland, farmland and downland and is important to many different people for a variety of reasons. Together with the remaining 19th century oak and modern 20th century conifer plantations, there are areas of retained scrub and coppice, streams, ponds and an extensive network of rides and paths. The many habitats provide an excellent area for nature lovers, whatever the season. There are walking and cycling opportunities within the forest ideal for all abilities.

How to get there:

Fareham is the nearest town or village.
OS Grid Reference: SU 597 122

Access either from the A32 Meon Valley Road, north of Wickham or at Hundred Acres.
