Lower Burgate Hampshire Map

About Lower Burgate

Lower Burgate, a quiet corner of Hampshire, offers a glimpse into the enduring spirit of the New Forest. It lies 1.5 km north-north-east of Fordingbridge (from Fordingbridge: bearing 15°T, OS grid SU 152 156), and is situated east of Tinkers Cross village. The hamlet’s modest dwellings huddle close, their stone walls softened by the moss and lichen that thrive in the humid air, giving them the look of ancient things. A gentle slope falls away to the north, where the Avon River, a ribbon of liquid silver, murmurs its timeless song, reflecting the pale, often overcast sky that is characteristic of this region. The fields surrounding Lower Burgate are a patchwork of greens and golds, often dotted with the stoic, browsing forms of forest ponies, their manes like wind-tossed silk. Here, the air itself seems to carry the scent of damp earth and the distant, sweet perfume of gorse in bloom, a subtle reminder of the wildness that presses in on all sides.
