Hatchet Pond is the largest area of fresh water in the New Forest and is home to a diverse array of wildlife. From Beaulieu Road, you can drop into the car park, where there is usually an ice cream van in the summer. It's a fabulous spot for watching the sunset, and you'll find a bench by the water's edge.
