Lyndhurst is a large village and civil parish situated in the New Forest National Park in Hampshire, England. Serving as the administrative capital of the New Forest, Lyndhurst is a popular tourist attraction, despite local traffic congestion, with many independent shops, art galleries, cafés, museums, pubs and hotels.
Known as the Capital of the New Forest, Lyndhurst houses the New Forest District Council. The first mention of Lyndhurst was in the Domesday Book of 1086 under the name 'Linhest'. The Court of Verderers sits in the Queens House in Lyndhurst. The church of St. Michael and All Angels was built in the 1860s, and contains a fresco by Lord Leighton and stained-glass windows by Charles Kempe, William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones and others. Local folklore records Lyndhurst as the site of a Dragon-slaying, and as being haunted by the ghost of Richard Fitzgeorge de Stacpoole, 1st Duc de Stacpoole. Alice Liddell, the inspiration for Alice in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, is buried there.
A royal park was attached to the manor of Lyndhurst from a very early date. It was unusual for being a King's Park within a King's Forest. In 1299 it covered an area of 500 acres (202 ha), the profits from the honey gathered there amounting to 2 shillings per annum. It was actively worked during the 14th and 15th centuries when payments were made for the fencing and repairing of the palings. The old Park of Lyndhurst is where the Parkhill Hotel now stands, the new park being on the A337 Brockenhurst road.
The village is the administrative capital of the New Forest, with the district council based in the village. The Court of Verderers sits in the Queen's House in Lyndhurst. The local headquarters of the Forestry Commission, the body that handles the maintenance of the softwood plantations, forest roads and paths, and controlling the spread of invasive plants, such as rhododendrons and gorse is also based in the Queen's House.
The church of St. Michael and All Angels is a major landmark, built of many different colours of brick, on one of the highest points in the village. Other major landmarks include Glasshayes (also known as the Lyndhurst Park Hotel, and haunted, according to local tradition, by Richard Fitzgeorge de Stacpoole, 1st Duc de Stacpoole) and the adjacent Bolton's Bench, a picturesque hill to the east of the village which, according to local folklore, was originally the corpse of a dragon; and a row of much photographed thatched cottages on the road to the neighbouring hamlet of Emery Down. Lyndhurst is also home to the New Forest Centre, which includes the New Forest Museum and New Forest Gallery.
Lyndhurst is notable in English folklore for being the supposed location of a dragon-slaying. The local tradition is that a dragon had his den at Burley Beacon in Burley. Alice Liddell, also known as Alice Hargreaves, the inspiration for Alice in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, lived in and around Lyndhurst after her marriage to Reginald Hargreaves, and is buried in the graveyard.

A guided tour of the New Forest
One of the most beautiful parts of the United Kingdom
New Forest Gems
The New Forest in Southern England is a wonderful National Park, with heathland, pasture and forest. David Powell, our travel editor, discovers some of the many attractions this unique area has to offer, including the ponies, Beaulieu, Exbury and Little Paddock.
New Forest Country Walk - Brockenhurst-Rhinefield-Brock Hill-Bolderford Bridge round
Our video is a guided walk in the New Forest in Hampshire. We start in Brockenhurst near the Snakecatcher pub and walk down Brookley Road through the main shopping area then head to Rhinefield Road. We turn off the road and walk to Brock Hill then make our way to Bolderford Bridge where we turn left and follow the river on our right back to Brockenhurst. This is a beautiful walk and we see lots of roaming forest ponies and wild deer. This is an easy to moderate walk on mainly good tracks with some forest road. There are only slight inclines and declines but the last part of the walk by Lymington River is unlevel. Approx 10 miles allow 3 hours 30 minutes using OS Explorer Map 22 New Forest.Start point: The Snakecatcher pub next to the railway crossing on the A337 at Brockenhurst.
