Hiking

Rockford Common is an area of open heathland and woodland, grazed by livestock belonging to local commoners. The area is rich in wildlife and has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Unlike much of the other New Forest moorland, Rockford Common once belonged to estates; originally Moyles Court and then Somerley. The family of Lord Normanton of Somerley bought both estates in 1825. The National Trust bought about 1500 acres of common land at Ibsley and Rockford in 1999 and a further 32 acres in 2007.
