Fordingbridge is a small riverside Hampshire town, described by some as the northern gateway to The New Forest. Built on the banks of the River Avon, it has a distinctive medieval bridge with seven arches. There’s plenty to do and explore right on the doorstep.
Alderholt is located in the peaceful and beautiful area of East Dorset, just three miles west of Fordingbridge. The village has plenty of walking and cycling routes in nearby Ringwood Forest.
Picturesque Heathlands
In particular, the open, picturesque heathlands of the New Forest are just a short distance away. At the nearby Riverside Park, children enjoy the attractive playpark and playing field – or you can walk along the riverbank and enjoy the secluded memorial gardens.
In the centre of the town, a wander down the high street offers plenty of local shops, cafés, bakeries and butchers. You’ll also find banks, pharmacies and some fantastic pubs and restaurants.

Just three miles west of Fordingbridge, the village of Alderholt takes you across the border to a peaceful and beautiful area of East Dorset. Local amenities include a small convenience supermarket and post office, GP surgery, vet, pub, and junior school, making it a popular place for house hunters. The village also has a large recreational ground with children’s play area and outdoor gym, plus plenty of walking and cycling routes in nearby Ringwood Forest.
