Green Hill Farm is located on the boundary of Hampshire and Wiltshire, midway between Salisbury and Southampton. It is within the New Forest National Park, and on the very edge of the 490 square miles of ancient forest and heathland where an abundance of wildlife wanders in its natural habitat. There are numerous picturesque villages and market towns within the forest, and it is a great place to explore on foot, bike or horseback.
The cathedral city of Salisbury is within easy reach, as is the bustling city of Southampton.
