Just outside the village of Beaulieu, Hatchet Pond is the largest area of fresh water in the New Forest. This scenic, shallow lake is a special place, home to almost 90% of the rarest wetland plants in the UK. Many species found here have long since become extinct from other parts of the country.

Ideal spot for a picnic. Usually an ice cream van there in the summer.
