‘THE SECRET GARDEN

Tucked just inside the Western Escarpment Conservation Area, Godshill Pottery occupies a private location close to the open heath, moor and woodland stretching to encompass Ditchend Bottom, Newgrounds, Hampton Ridge and Pitts Wood Inclosure, where there is glorious walking, riding and cycling countryside. The well-regarded community of Godshill is situated on the Western boundary of the New Forest National Park and provides a number of amenities including a village hall and popular public house. The village is supported by its close links to Sandy Balls Holiday Centre, where there is a leisure complex, restaurant and shop.

The Avonside town of Fordingbridge (approximately 2 miles) provides a further range of day-to-day health, recreational and educational facilities. An excellent local road network ensures convenient access to Bournemouth, Southampton and the Cathedral City of Salisbury, all of which offer more comprehensive facilities including mainline rail links to London (Waterloo), and it is a short drive across the forest via the B3078 to Junction 1 of the M27 at Cadnam. There are international airports at Bournemouth and Southampton.

A gated entrance opens to a gravelled driveway with ample parking and turning space for a number of vehicles and with access to both The Pottery and ‘The Secret Garden’ beyond.
