_____________________________________________

Our small but pretty village is a short distance to the west of the
town of Fordingbridge on the edge of the New Forest. Fortunate
to have an area of common land at its centre, Sandleheath is a
mixture of older traditional building and limited modern
development. Although many of its inhabitants now work in the
nearby cities of Salisbury, Southampton and Bournemouth, the
village maintains a community based rural feel. It is for this
reason that the Parish is such an attractive place to live and
bring up children.
