Holly Hatch is an enchanting place in the New Forest National Park. It's filled with towering holly trees which provide both some shade, and a pretty scene, and it's nestled next to the flowing Dockens Water river which is a wonderful spot for a picnic.

Dockens Water and Holly Hatch Cottage, New Forest The white building is Holly Hatch Cottage, a Forest Keeper's residence - one of the more remote dwellings in the New Forest. In the foreground is the concrete ford across Dockens Water, with the stream water passing beneath via plastic tubes. Dockens Water eventually joins the River Avon near Ibsley.
