The pretty New Forest village of South Gorley lies on the very western edge of the New Forest National Park between the Avonside towns of Fordingbridge and Ringwood. Both can be conveniently accessed via the near-by A338 and offer a range of independent shopping and recreational facilities. South Gorley itself is home to Hockeys Farm, which is but a short walk away and which offers a well stocked local farm shop and a cafe, and there is a popular public house - The Royal Oak - at neighbouring North Gorley.

The A338 and A31 supply access to the larger commercial and employment centres of Bournemouth and Southampton respectively, where there are mainline rail stations to London (Waterloo) and international airports. The outdoor enthusiast is well catered for by the unspoiled acres of the surrounding New Forest which offer wonderful country for those who enjoy walking, riding and running and there is a good choice of local golf clubs.

New Forest District Council.
