Burbush Hill is a risen mound located in the beautiful New Forest National Park near Burley. The area is characterised by its rolling landscapes that feature heather, gorse, and ancient oak trees, and excellent views of the surrounding forest and countryside.

Hiking
The New Forest is called "new" because it was established in 1079 by William the Conqueror as the "New Royal Hunting Forest."
At that time, farmers were granted the right to freely graze their horses, cattle, and even pigs. This right still applies today... they also roam freely in the villages, which is why all houses have either a gate or a cattle grid.
The landscape is magnificent, and the hiking is wonderful.
