Avon Hampshire Map

About Avon

Avon breathes with the quietude of the New Forest, a gentle exhale of ancient woodland and heath. It lies 5.7 km north of Christchurch (from Christchurch: bearing 352°T, OS grid SZ 146 988), and is situated west of Ripley village. The air here, particularly in the soft glow of late afternoon, carries a scent of damp earth and pine needles, a perfume that has lingered for centuries. The village itself, a scattering of cottages and houses, seems to gather around its modest village green, where sunlight pools and the shade of old oak trees offers a cool respite. Though the grand edifices of abbeys and castles are absent, the history of Avon is written in the enduring landscape, in the quiet endurance of its rural pathways and the subtle curve of its fields.
