Hotels Near Fordingbridge

Stay with us

Situated on the meandering River Avon, with enchanting woodland, miles of wild heathland and the magnificent coastline of the New Forest right on its doorstep, it’s no wonder that the historic market town of Fordingbridge is such a favourite with visitors from all over the world.

The mediaeval and aptly named Great Bridge spans the town centre, and you can learn more about the town and its history in the Fordingbridge Museum in King’s Yard. There are also plenty of independent shops where you can find a unique gift, sample local produce, and buy books and maps of the surrounding area.

Film buffs must check out the recently restored 30-seat Regal Cinema on the High Street – it’s an Art Deco gem, and to watch a classic movie here is a real treat.

History is also very much in evidence at nearby Rockbourne Roman Villa, with its impressive mosaics, and Breamore House and Museum, set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in Cranborne Chase, is a fantastic place for the whole family to visit.

A seaside adventure isn’t far away either, so if you fancy a dip or a bracing walk, the spectacular coast at Barton-on-Sea is only 30 minutes away from Fordingbridge.
