The 27 best churches in New Forest National Park Hampshire

Really enjoyed it here, a mix of the old and the more modern, great history. We caught the little ferry boat over which was lovely, we were going to go back the same way but decided to walk back along the spit, was about 2 miles out in the open and shingle all the way, was very windy on the way back but a nice walk none the less. It's a bit of a gem and not over priced, definitely worth reading all the signs to learn about the history and the changes the castle went through.

I enjoyed my visit immensely. A great place to bring children to run around, although I suggest you use the ferry with the little ones as its a 2 mile walk from the carpark. Completely dog friendly I brought mine. He enjoyed sniffing around the rooms but was impatient to move on. So I photographed the information panels for later. There's a very small cafe and the toilets are open to the elements.

Hurst Castle is an absolute gem. The walk from the car park to the castle is about 2 miles with lovely views of the Needles. You can get the ferry from Keyhaven to save on the walk. Once inside the castle, there’s so much to explore and the exhibitions are well presented and bring the stories of the castle to life. The views from the castle walls are breathtaking and you can see across to the Isle of Wight and watch the boats sail by. I’d highly recommend bringing a picnic and spending a few hours wandering, learning, and soaking up the atmosphere. A brilliant day out for families, history lovers, and anyone who enjoys a walk.

We took the ferry across and then spent about 3 hours wandering round. Lots of different bits to see but the highlight are the views over to the Isle of White and the lighthouse. There is a little cafe out front and some rustic toilets inside. If you intend on being there over lunch I’d suggest bringing lunch with you.

Great morning out looking around this castle. Got the ferry there snd back which was great fun. Lovely views from the top of the castle overlooking isle of wight and beyond. Lot's of information given as you walk around.

Great place to explore, by foot over shingle spit or by little boat. Lots of rooms to explore and learn history of the building, surrounding area and lighthouses in general. We had great time.

This Castle has a lot to offer. Its history and role during various wars is well explained at various points inside the castle. There are many sections accessible only through narrow stairs. On an upper level there are lovely views across to Hust Beach and Keyhaven. In the other direction there is a clear view of the Isle of Wight.

This is a lovely English style Bar/Restaurant in Burley, they had a very good menu with lots to offer, the food was very tasty and our waitress Emma made us feel right at home. Emma also recommended a lovely place to stay for the night just 5 minutes drive from the burley call the White Buck. We booked in and it looks amazing. Thank you Emma.

We popped in while driving through with our nervous dog. The garden is nice and big with plenty of seats, water for dogs etc. We had a few starters and sides for lunch and everything was tasty and very well presented. The inside of the pub is lovely with a mix of historic and modern touches!

Lovely setting in the village of Burley, beautiful inside and out with restaurant, bar and garden settings for dining. Have 2 options for main as I have a citrus fruit intolerance and often this rules out fish options which it did in this case but I was prepared with a backup, tweaks were also made to the starter to accommodate me. Korean BBQ chicken strips - how did you make them so light and flavoursome? A gap was suggested between courses which I gratefully took before an epic main was delivered, lamb shank shepherds pie, I did not anticipate the entire shank to be sticking out of the pie, but there it was and it was amazing, the cheesy mash, the devine, rich gravy base with shredded shank and then the succulent bone of meat that melted, the extra gravy was not required and I am a massive gravy fan. Seriously this was beautiful. The service was excellent, very attentive, friendly staff showing excellent attention to all guests but a special shout out to Jamie, thank you for looking after me!

Lovely food and service from Eleanor - we will be back! Well we went back for Sunday Roast and wow! Roast Rib of Beef was amazing! Jamie the landlord is a gem and one to keep hold of- Brewery take note!! So friendly, great atmosphere and nothing was too much trouble, it’s not just customer service, it’s customer care and that’s what makes a difference, by the way thanks for the Espresso Martini. Would I recommend this place…absolutely, whilst Jamie and his team are there! We’ve been coming to Burley for many years and have now found a real welcoming ‘local’ home from home.

Lovely lunch at this pub! The staff are very kind and made us feel welcome. The menu had some great options and we enjoyed our cheese toastie and steak sandwich for lunch - they even asked how we wanted the steak cooked! We sat outside in the lovely garden, and really enjoyed the birds singing. Would strongly recommend and definitely return!

The two young ladies behind the bar have to have the upmost praise for their warm, welcoming presence. Food was fabulous. Toilets spotless . Would 100% recommend stopping here.

We had a very nice experience here. The service was great and the food was wonderful. My kids enjoyed their meals and my husband and I had the steak and ale pie and Blackstone chicken. Both were very good. We would have liked to try a pudding, but we enjoyed our meal too much to save room!

Like other reviewers we enjoyed our visit. Very popular in summer with New Forest visitors and dog friendly. Very nice people, they are attentive and welcoming. Varied menu to suit all tastes with good vegetarian and vegan options, and of course excellent bacon sandwiches! Came back for another lunch and had the Station Master Welsh Rarebit. A real treat, the menu said a slice of ham hidden underneath and I guess you would expect the thin supermarket stuff but what I got was a thick hand cut wedge of juicy baked ham , just outstandingly delicious!

an old station of the former railway is now a wonderful tea room and pitstop in the New Forest. Excellent array of cakes and savoury .Staff friendly and welcoming with prompt service. Worth a visit if in the area. I would reserve for large tables so they know to expect.

Me and my wife went there for breakfast on a Sunday morning before we went for a local walk in the forest. The full English breakfast was high quality and reasonably priced for the lovely produce. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the station setting was awesome. We will definitely come back when we return to the New Forest.

I've been coming to homesley tea rooms for many years now it's a absolute gem the food, staff, are outstanding there's a vast menu the cream teas are out of this world I don't think you could get better keep up the outstanding service you provided can't wait until my next visit.

Fantastic place for lunch. We've eaten here several times over the years as a family. Good quality food, at a reasonable price, served with a smile. The cakes and pastries are worth a visit alone, particularly the rather excellent Lemon Meringue pie. Decent coffee! Dog friendly as long as you're sitting outdoors, not quite sure if they're allowed inside. Ample parking, although sometimes it's very busy so can be hard to find a spot, ditto for getting a table, but you can make a reservation on their website.

Very good sandwiches and cake. Lovely staff. Railway memorabilia galore.

As always a pleasure to visit. I visit mostly with my mother who has dementia and however busy it gets there's always a warm welcome. Food consistent high quality, atmosphere and background music perfect for the feel of an old station. Love it.

A truly dog friendly pub. Most pubs say they are dog friendly, but this one lives it! Treats, water, toys, dog menu - perfect for us. Great beer garden, good food and lovely location. Glad we stopped by on our holiday to New Forest.

Lovely thatched pub just outside Ringwood and on the edge of the New Forest. Independently owned and they have put their all into wanting to make it a 🙌 🫶👍 unfortunately the young team members serving us, gave no enthusiasm in wanting to make us feel welcome or make our visit enjoyable. We ordered the elm tree burger and smoked haddock linguine which took 45 minutes to arrive, which we then had to wolf it down as we were running very late. No apology or reason was given as to why it took so long. The meals themselves were delicious hence the 5⭐️, and we will visit again and look forward to a more welcoming and enjoyable 5⭐️ experience, as we know the food certainly will be

The Elm Tree - Hightown, Ringwood. Hampshire. SUNDAY 31st August 2025 Stopped in for Sunday Roast following recommendation from my daughter who.lives in Ringwood. Lovely Turkey Roast ! Food excellent, service very good (thanks for looking after us Tracy). Atmoshere very nice and clearly a popular eatery as it was busy......service was still excellent. We also enjoyed the San Miguel 😉, thanks again to Tracy. Thanks for a great lunch, we will.be back. Julian & Amanda

We attended a steam event at the Elm Tree (as a family). What a beautiful pub and surroundings!! The food, setting, staff and atmosphere was outstanding. I did not realise there are many regular events held here so I will be following the social media pages & will certainly be becoming regulars as well as stopping by for a Sunday Roast! Compliments to the chef as the food really was top notch! Thank you to the hard working team and manager! Absolutely SUPERB! Taya & family

We hired The Barn, the event space, for a private function for 80+ guests and everyone loved the event. Most of our guests were locals who knew of the Pub but were so complimentary about the food and service. The team are so helpful, and nothing was too much trouble. Great bar staff and we appreciated the recent updates to the Barn the loos and the furniture. I know they do weddings and other events and their packages are good value. We would thoroughly recommend this venue and pub.

Needed to organise an evening meeting of volunteers and the New forest was central to their home locations. So chose The ElmTree as the venue. After a two hour drive from Surrey we were given a warm welcome on arrival. A large table had been prepared in a quiet alcove and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Superb food, water jugs regularly refilled, good beers. Looking forward to our next annual meeting.. Thank you

When greeted outside the front door by a sign that says you must wear a shirt you quickly realise you cannot judge from appearances alone. Friday afternoon at 5pm and the bar was heaving with Dads who had completed the school run and were now feeding their charges. Interesting building, possibly old in places, interesting beers and a helpful team.....but we stayed for just the one pint in the garden ......

Some outdoor space by the front facing the road, restaurant has nice windows so it's not too dark. Service was lovely but the food was okay. Roast comes with boiled (not roasted) vegetables. There is a limited selection of drafts but the ales they did have were very nice.

Warm, genuine and friendly team running The Burley Inn. Very welcoming and accommodating! The pub is traditional and we stayed in a room above the entrance which made us feel like we were in a little lighthouse with the views. Excellent location for the village, food was fab and the price very reasonable. So glad we stayed here!

Whilst on a break I was taken to this location for a meal as a treat as I about to become a Chelsea Pensioner. Parking great. Welcoming..great...service good Food..terrible. the vegetables looked nice but were done in the new style..uncooked. I commented and the staff took it away for fresh veg. 30min later my partner had finished theirs. I went asked how long mine would be? The reply was 'in a minute' it came and the veg was still hard We left having paid the full price with no offer of an option etc.Terrible. Fri 20june 1458 3 meals one edible. POOR

Lovely pub in a small village with ponies waiting outside. Good outdoor seating area, with plenty of seat available when we got there at lunch time. We ordered 3 ploughman’s and a jacket Potato. Food overall nice, simple pub grub. We would return if we was in the area.

Nice pub / hotel set in the heart of the village. Great food and parking. Cannot comment on the hotel rooms as only enjoy a delious meal here, one on Sunday offered a roast, and a weekday for an evening meal. Both visits good food well cooked very friendly and accommodating.

Simply put, excellent proper food, engaging attentive and friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Great location and drinks selection. Miles better than Burley Manor where we had stayed for over double the price.

Bartender was great when we popped in for a pint, friendly atmosphere. Did a 4 mile walk and was looking forward to a nice roast. Same Bartender, straight to a nice table. However once we sat down, we were ignored for 10 minutes, even after we tried to catch the staffs eye. Then a group of 4 came in, sat down and was served immediately. Not happy and promptly got up and left. Very disappointing as we thought that would round the day up. Went do pub over the road (Queens head) and was served immediately.

Amazing place for a morning stroll or even a day at beach ⛱️ very well organised as many paths for walk, parts of beach that allow dogs, a place for a coffee or a breakfast, ice cream and toilets but what impressed me the most was the cleanliness! A lot of rubbish bins but also, nice people caring for this beautiful place. Every time I come here, it makes my day!

Beautiful beach, largely sand, nice & clean. Great views. Gentle sloping sea (albeit pretty rough when we were there). Quiet with a few surfers, families, couples & the odd dog. Dog friendly. Car park right at the top of the cliff with a fairly easy short walk / slope / steps options to the beach below. Restaurant & toilets available. Really enjoyed

Great beach, clean sand with parking toilets and snacks on hand ! Nice walks across to the Isle of Wight.

The beach is beautiful and fairly quiet. Pebbly beach with sand at low tide. Food vendors available in the car park. Car parking itself is reasonably priced, and the beach is literally just behind it

Awesome location for a day out. Large car park with plenty of parking.

Excellent, offering easy access to Highcliffe Beach for coastal walks and relaxation, as well as proximity to Highcliffe Castle. It's also a good base for exploring the New Forest. And very tidy too!

Very beautiful location and not too difficult to go back up the stairs. Food vans located at the top and bottom. If you’re wanting a scenic walk this is your place.

We have just enjoyed a family break at the Lakeside campsite. Perfect for children with a little park close to the tents. We had a fantastic time kayaking and there are many other activities we'd like to try another time. Grounds are beautiful. Facilities for campers could be improved. Showers a dribble with no temperature control or shelf to put glasses etc. Washing up basins are knee height and back breaking. Rubbish and recycling bins are too small for the volume of campers. However, facilities were regularly cleaned. There is a strict 'quiet time' between 10pm and 7am which we liked (although being directly under a flight path broke the peace). Sadly a large group were up one night screaming and shouting until the early morning despite staff telling them to keep it down. There's always one! Staff couldn't have been more apologetic and the next day told the group they'd be asked to leave if it happened again. Would like to visit again to try more activities.

We had a great time doing the raft building activity for a hen do. Our instructor Rachel was amazing, her instructions were clear so we made strong rafts but she also set up great games for us. The site had great facilities for changing and we would love to come back to stay on the campsite.

I went to Avon tyrrell recently with my youth club for a little holiday with them & i stayed in the Avon Lodge & all the facilities were really well equipped & all staff were very supportive & were all really approachable & the surrounding area & all activities i did were a joy to do & to be nearby as-well & i will definitely go back again whenever i can I Strongly & Really recommend Avon Tyrrel to all youth clubs out there to go there for an adventure weekend with them cause of how amazingly fun mine was recenlty with Camp Mohawk

Cafe was barely open. Staff shortage apparently. Phone connected to WiFi very rarely and no normal phone signal. I didn’t mind but my dad didn’t like that showers were mixed sex.

Great location, kids had an amazing time would definitely visit again. Only downside was unisex toilets and showers not very clean, we had our own in the caravan so wasn’t so much of a problem but would not have enjoyed my stay if I had to use the public showers and toilets.

We took a caravan and camped in the lakeside field. Access to the field is down a long narrow, winding unmade road with large bumps and tight corners through trees, not for the faint hearted or larger vans. While our pitch near the lake was level enough, the pitches nearest the house are on a slope. In this field there is no grey water disposal site. Most campers had tents. The site was full and the unisex toilet and shower blocks became dirty quite quickly. One toilet/shower block was not really sufficient or needed cleaning more frequently. Litter was also a bit of a problem on the site. The site has a wide range of outdoor activities you can purchase - these look great. A small playground for kids was well used and there are woods to explore. Location is great for the New Forest and for the sea side (8 miles). The site is directly under the landing patch for Bournemouth airport.

Absolutely stunning site, staff were incredible, kind, friendly, and very helpful. Lots of activities for all the family to do. Definitely recommend.

Love, love, love this place 🥰 Gorgeous sandy beaches, you can walk in from Hengestbury Head which is a beautiful walk or take a ferry boat from Mudeford or Christchurch. Such a great day out with all the beach amenities you could want. Drinks, food and toilets or even hire a beach hut. Highly recommend for a family day out or relaxing couples weekend ❤️

What an amazing place, unspoilt, clean white pristine sand, beautiful! Took short ferry from Mudeford Quay which is also a really interesting place.

Beautiful scenery, clean beach and surrounding area, lots of space to walk, guarded beach, everything you need for the day! Just take water shoes, there is plenty of stones, but water today was delightful!

Beautiful beach with sand. Great place for a holiday with family.

We jumped on the ferry and walked the beach, so so pretty

This place is like a hidden sand beach jewel, after a stunning view on the Hengistbury Head cliff. A tiny spot with such a beautiful landscape. It is possible to rent a beach hut, but walking there and spending the day is already magic.

Stunning, just stunning ... Don't Forget a ride on the noddy/land train at the head. Massive car park available at Hengisbury head, plenty of parking have never failed to get a spot. Pay at machine or use the online app which i always use as you can top up your parking if you are going to be longer than expected, and you will be 😊 There are toilets at Hengisbury Head or on Mudeford sand bank. lots of lovely cafes that serve really nice quality food....you can spend the whole day here the beaches ⛱️ are clean and the waves are small and gentle so ideal if you have small children. One of my favourite places in all the world . You wont be dissapointed x

I stopped here on a trip north from the south coast and found the church open. It is a treasure of a building with beautiful stained glass windows. I was also intrigued to see the pattern on the outside of the spire.

Interesting church if you are in the area. Notable for the "Alice" (in Wondrland) grave in the churchyard behind the church itself.

Wow! Angels by name and angels by nature - they are everywhere in this lovely old church, in the woodwork, the masonry, the stained glass, on doors, and life size ones on the ceiling. It is a glorious church, with a quite astonishing interior. It has the grave of Mrs Reginald Hargreaves in its graveyard. Mrs Hargreaves was Alice Liddell, the girl who was Lewis Carroll's inspiration for Alice In Wonderland. There are plentiful information boards with lots of fascinating details about all of this and the history and background. The church has some vividly coloured frescoes by Leighton which are quite lovely. Burne-Jones, Rossetti and William Morris also have left their marks here. This is a Grade 1 listed building. Brilliant and quite simply glorious. Highly recommended.

I visited This lovely church on the 7th of November with my mum. Two ladies were serving tea and cakes on a volunteer basis. Mum was cold so we went inside, they were really welcoming and the atmosphere was really special. We came away with a lovely memory. They serve a hot drinks the first Tuesday of the month. Thank you ladies you made us feel really welcome. Look round the church and see the Alison wonderland connection and please make a donation to the church. Thanks again

Beautiful building, nice sanctuary, quiet grounds. Nice place for a quiet walk.

Lovely Gothic style church sat on a hill in Lyndhurst over looking the village. Small churchyard but with a famous grave of Mrs. Reginald Hargreaves, the “Alice ” in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Inside a Fresco of 19th Century stands out in the East end with lighting beaming onto the Angels in the roof.

Beautiful and imposing mid Victorian church built from coloured bricks and tiles. It is filled with high quality stained glass and paintings, and wooden and stone carvings. The fresco behind the altar is the parable of the Wise and Foolish virgins. The stained glass is by the pre-Raphaelites. Very well worth a visit.

Nice, big beach. Perfect for a relaxing day or long walks.

Mixture of pebbles & sand (more sand when the tide is out). Gentle sloping beach with regular wooden groynes. Rows of beach huts behind wide promenade. Ice creams, lunches, drinks, etc., all catered for at nearby bars/booths. Good for kids. Nice, safe, quiet surroundings. Access to beach from nearby car parks.

It's a beautiful place for a day out at the beach. You got all the necessary stuff to enjoy the beach. Restaurants, takeaways, bakery ice cream. You name it... Very fun to go .

Absolutely lovely area away from the main tourist area sorry Bournemouth is not even close

We were there on August 12. We liked the beach. There are small sandy places on almost every beach, your feet don't hurt as much there as on a shallow stone. The sea was cool, but you get used to it quickly. The children couldn't be pulled out of the water. There is a public toilet, shower, parking, cafe to eat and buy ice cream. Very good!

Beautiful landscape, clean, great area to relax. My favourite beach so far.

Our happy place. We usually park in Highcliffe and walk the promonade through to Avon Beach to Mudeford quay. Always stop in the middle of Avon Beach for a cup of tea and fabulous fish and chips. Lots of pretty beach huts.

I really like this place. The food is consistently good and always satisfies my craving for yummy Chinese food! Delivery is always pretty fast too and I find it good value for money.

Very good food, average plus portions, lovely and hot, (delivery) price top / average. Very generous on meat content. Battened prawns, batter a bit doughy but still very nice. Definitely worth having again, good value for money, service top class

Ordered food, was told it would arrive at 9:05pm. Rung as it got to 9:30pm and was told that it was cooking and would be another 10-15 minutes… thought we would try a new Chinese as we normally go to Chinatown in Highcliffe, but fancied a change. Should’ve stuck to Chinatown, at least they stick to their ETA’s.

Very good chinese takeaway. Food was really tasty, special chow mein was excellent. Will definitely order from here again🙂

Ordered a delivery was told 50 mins to an hour, and hour and 15 minutes later called to chase up delivery as it still hasn’t arrived to be told that our food still hasn’t even been cooked and they will get it cooked now will be about another 20 minutes! Asked for a refund as not good enough! Won’t be returning.

We are new to the area and are trying out different restaurants and takeaways. Last Friday we ordered from the King’s House Chinese takeaway, Lymington Road, New Milton on the corner by the traffic lights. The food was delivered on time (actual 5 minutes before). It was plentiful and tasty, average cost. As another reviewer wrote the sweet and sour prawn balls were a bit doughy one end, still yummy. Yes, we will be using this takeaway again.

Absolutely perfect. We ordered tonight online and made a comment for curry to be extra hot. All the food was spot on and ready to collect within 20 mins. Can't fault it, highly recommended! P.s. be careful when ordering a pancake roll, THEY ARE MASSIVE!

Very nice atmosphere

Lovely church, my great uncle and aunt got married there 63yrs ago and renewed their vows yesterday to the very day

Great setting for worship, youth work is good

Brilliant acoustics. A friendly helpful church.

People very friendly

The Service was amazing

Lovely place

The abbey is part of the Beaulieu ticket. Very interesting abbey ruins and exhibition that shared more about its history as the largest English Cistercian abbey (until the dissolution of the monasteries), what life was like for the people there, and notable objects. We spent about 20-30 minutes reading through the information and enjoying the peaceful area.

Once a thriving Cistercian monastery is now left dormant and available to look around. Majority is just ruins, but some of the buildings - notably those surrounding the cloister still remain. Lots of herbs are seen growing in the Abbey cloisters.

Spectacular and amazing Abbey Ruins within the Beaulieu estate. There is an informative video about the origins of the Abbey from King John and the Cistercian order who came from France, which is thoroughly informative and interesting and this history is laid out with the information panels. Within the main building there is a reconstruction model of what the Abbey may have looked like giving some idea of the scale of this wonderful place and there are informative displays about how the Monks lived with their diet and daily routine and how they would go to the infirmary if they were very ill. The information display also goes into how the Abbey was built and constructed giving you a clear and full idea of the work involved to build it. You can also wander around the amazing and spectacular ruins and marvel at the beautiful architecture and also see the grave of the last Lord Montagu before the current one. Overall a brilliant and nice place to visit and makes for a very interesting day out. Definitely worth a visit in the New Forest.

Spent a glorious day here in the September sunshine. Started on the monorail. Thought we were going to be there all day as we couldn't get the door open and the guard forgot us. Still laughing. Went to the Motor Museum next. Fascinating. Took a ride on the old style bus and walked back up through the Riverside walk and the gardens, looking at the sculpture exhibition. Then had some of the best ever fish and chips, followed by chocolate sundae, in The Brabazon Restaurant and Coffee Shop. Finally, went back down to the old ruins and cloisters to see the historic exhibition there,

No public access to this place of worship you have to pay to get access to the plot of land it's situated on. Abbey house and grounds is one tourist package deal sadly 👍 wasted hour of my day to find out it's not accessible to even take a photo 👍 capitalism at its finest and they wonder why Christianity is dying in the UK 👍

Most of the Abbey is a ruin now, but you can still see the footprint and layout of this ecclesiastical place. Several buildings survive including the Church and Domus. The Abbey museum takes you through the history of this place and what it was like for the Benedictine monks and lay brothers who lived there. They maintained good infirmary facilities to look after their own. Don't miss the upstairs exhibition of Lady Montagu's Wall Hangings which tell the story of Beaulieu Abbey from it's foundation in 1204 to it's dissolution in 1538.

Absolutely stunning setting for this little 13th century gem. In the grounds of the Beaulieu Motor Museum lies the serene Beaulieu Abbey and Beaulieu parish church (which used to be the Cistercian monks refectory) The gardens surrounding it are well stocked and very calming after the hubbub in the excellent museum. We spent a long time here in this quiet spot just absorbing the atmosphere and enjoying the plants and the history. Some of the buildings there, the Abbey Domus upper floor for example, are not accessible to anyone in a wheelchair but that didn't put a dampener on my lovely time there. I would love to return.

An amazing church that is in the doomsday book.. reportedly having the largest yew tree in the new forest..and the resting place of new Zealand soldiers from world war one

The Hedge End branch of the Mothers' Union visited St Nicholas Church where we were hosted by the Brockenhurst Mothers' Union. We were given a fascinating talk on the history of the church, in particular the significance of the modern stained glass windows on the north side. The church dates from Saxon times but has been added on over the years. The yew tree outside is over 1000 years old.

A beautiful and solemn place to visit. I’m glad I could visit the Commonwealth War Graves. Lots of daffodils at this time of year.

Lovely place to visit, so much history to be found here. Ros was especially lovely to meet, she shared so much history and love for this place. ☺️☺️

Beautiful Norman Church set up the hill from the picturesque town of Brockenhurst. With many notable people buried in it's grounds, including Brusher Mills the New Forest Snake Catcher and a an emotive memorial to the New Zealand soldiers and the army hospital as well as beautiful stained glass windows, it's worth visiting.

Beautiful, peaceful church steeped in history. The stained glass is a must see, with tributes to New Zealand soldiers who died in the nearby hospital and some amazing flowers in the glass too

Really lovely church, was started in saxon times but finished at various times in history. Was very close to a New Zealand hospital in world war one, so some graves from tjis time

We visited this church whilst on a weekend break in the New Forest primarily to view the grave of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is in a beautiful little village with New Forest ponies plentiful. The grave was not easy to find but is in a lovely setting. A warm summer day with butterflies.

What a quaint little church.. 12C base, modern 17C steeple. Beautiful glass work. Overlooks a horse paddock. Beautiful when the sun is shining. Arthur Conan-Doyle & his wife spent their last years in Mistead, his grave stone is at the end of the cemetery opposite a tree. The church has Touch Pay & Text Donation facilities.

An architecturally fascinating old English church with the gravestone of sir Arthur Conan Doyle around the back. It is worth a visit inside as the old stone and wood work is really interesting.

Lovely little church dating back before the 12th century. The main church you see today has major additions in the 13th & 18th (the red brick) centuries. The major draw is the grave site of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle but inside the church has little gems too including a three-decked pulpit and two-tiered galleries. Also spot where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's daughter, Jean Conan Doyle's ashes are buried in the same graveyard. Another memorial I saw was of two young children who had been murdered. Easy parking and a great church to visit.

My wife and myself were looking for Conan Doyle’s burial place a few years back. A very small woman suddenly appeared from nowhere and showed us the grave. She explained that he was interred from Crowborough to minstead on a stormy day and that night a thunderstorm had passed over and a bolt of lightning struck the yew tree beside the grave and split it in half. We looked at the tree for a few seconds and then turned to ask the woman who she was but she had disappeared. We looked around the church yard and checked inside the church but to no avail. Recently we revisited the graveyard and found no trace of any yew tree. We also asked around the village and in the village pub the trusty servant if anyone knew the small woman. Nobody had ever seen or heard of her. Next to his grave is a plaque marking the resting place of the lovely Emma chambers from the vicar of dibley fame.

All Saints Church is quite unique in its style more cottage style than traditional village Church. Lovely location well worth a visit. The Church cushions are all hand embroidered. It is also the last resting place of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle the author of the Sherlock Holmes stories.

A very quaint church from its outward apearance with an unusual lay out inside. The church has information about Florence Nightingale who is buried in a nearby church belonging to this group of churches. In the graveyard Sir Arthur Conan Doyle author of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries.

The church and grounds are beautiful, however when I went to visit in March, no one spoke and a group of women just stood drying cups and saucers in a corner. I wasn't welcomed at all. One Christmas they gave out mulled wine, but not before having a collection box shaken in my face. I put the wine back on the table.

Beautiful church with stunning stained glass windows and beautifully preserved tiles. Such a warm welcome by the vicar. A lovely feeling envelopes you when inside. Will most definitely pop in again.

This states that the church is open 24 hours. It isn't.

A very dour midnight mass.

Lovely church and a friendly vicar who made us feel welcome

Beautiful ace inside and out, lovely welcoming community.

A beautiful church with stunning architecture. Well worth a kook see

Very pleasant and very quiet burial ground and church. Worth popping into if you’re in the area.

An excellent mediaeval church (sign says 1089) situated in a very pleasant part of Hampshire county. Delightful 45 min walk from Lymington, along pretty country lanes. A very large and always interesting graveyard, including a well tended war section. Shame the Kirk was closed due to COVID-19.

Beautiful Church. We went specifically to see the memorial to HMS Hood. We just entered the postcode in satnav and it took us right there, a ,little out of the way but well worth the visit and the beautiful stained glass window.

Beautiful Church in a wonderful rural location

Good place to spot deer. Good walking paths.

Fabulous historic church in wonderful order. Under pew heating. Fun, quirky vicar who conducted the wedding service made it a very human and joyous occasion

Beautiful place, very peaceful, nice walks in the area

The church was closed when I was there, but it looked cute fro the outside

A very serene place of worship and historical building that is very well looked after indeed. The church was open to all during the day and very welcoming. It would’ve been nice to have someone to answer some questions.

Christmas trees for sale. Each tree had a different theme. Really enjoyed it.

A lovely ancient church which can only be seen from the exterior at the moment (COVID-19). Tranquil graveyard for reflection, at the back.

Beautiful church. Have put on many orchestral concerts there, with up to 50/60 players and singers. It is a bit of an awkward space due to the various alterations to the building over the centuries, and a sometimes too dry an Acoustic. However the local community are very supportive and appreciative of having live music in their midst.

Went to watch the Queen's funeral streamed to big screens. Welcoming from the friends running the event felt calm and respectful. All went smoothly with clear pictures and sound plus comfortable seating. They were prepared for a concert with stage in place in the evening showing the church were an active community resource. If we lived locally it would surely be our regular place of worship. Thanks to the team for doing it so well.

Lovely old church with beautuful stained window.

A wonderful Easter Sunday service with messy church children bringing in their completed art work for us all to enjoy and reflect upon. A joyous occasion for all.

Friendly, approachable and made very welcome by all. Traditional four-part choir with a beast of a church organ and a modern take on the recognisable Anglican tradition. Afterwards there's socialising where all newcomers are made to feel welcome with coffee, biscuits (and sometimes) cake. Lots for the younger members to separately participate in. We attend regularly now.

Great venue for various things, including scouts/beavers/brownies

My local church and my wife and I try to go regularly. Very friendly and helpful congregation always, and a friendly and up to date approach to the service.

Hall is good for childrens parties, you can use the kitchen and its a reasonable price to hire in Southbourne.

Very friendly people, made us feel very welcome. Choir sang a lovely anthem. We enjoyed the service very much.

As a member of All Saints I hope guests were given a warm welcome.
