 The
Burley Inn
Burley depicts everything you would expect from a traditional New
Forest village. It nestles in the lee of the hill, and is
surrounded by an area of outstanding beauty. A dramatic contrast
of colourful heathlands, mighty oaks, beeches and lofty pines.
Ponies, donkeys and cattle roam freely around this lovely village,
following ancient forest tracks used for centuries by Commoners
and their livestock.
The Burley Inn hotel is a short drive from such historic places as
Rufus Stone, Beaulieu Abbey (and motor museum) and Bucklers Hard.
Not only was Burley on the main smuggling route from the port to
the south, but also has a history connection with witches (as the
local shops demonstrate), indeed it was as recent as 1950 that
Sybil Leek, a self-confessed white witch lived in the village.
Burley is well known in the New Forest for annual events like the
Halloween Parade, the Village Fair and well attended Apple Cider
Steam Pressing Weekend an excellent family event with Steam
Engines, Morris Dancers, Folk Bands and all manner of traditional
forest crafts.
