THE SITUATION
The first Spencers New Forest office was established here in
Burley, a honeypot village that feels untouched by time with its
traditional cafes, cider farm, gift shops and tales of old
smuggling routes, witches and dragons. This is the New Forest on
holiday as imagined by visitors: quaint and old-fashioned with
ponies wandering down the high street.
In Burley there’s a perpetual feeling of having escaped, that
you are away from it all, especially as it is tucked in the lee of
wooded slopes. There’s a lovely sense of community and a range of
activities to enjoy locally including cycling, horse riding, coarse
fishing and the Burley Golf Club with a nine-hole heathland
course.
