The area around Fordingbridge.
Fordingbridge is a small market town on the Hampshire Avon at the western edge of the New Forest, known for its medieval bridge and its link with the painter Augustus John. Forest restrictions limit new building, so much of the housing is older brick and cob cottages alongside modest estates. Customers include commuters to Salisbury and Bournemouth, retirees and visitors. A local site should name the Avon valley villages and Forest hamlets you reach, since Ringwood and Salisbury firms compete for the same work.
Ringwood (6 miles) and Totton (13 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Across the boundary into the next council area, Verwood (5 miles), Ferndown (10 miles) and Salisbury (10 miles) are also close. A longer drive takes in Wilton (11 miles), Wimborne Minster (12 miles) and Christchurch (13 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Within Fordingbridge itself, we build for businesses in Sandleheath, Alderholt, Godshill, Breamore, Stuckton and Rockbourne.
Fordingbridge (postcode area SP) sits about 77 miles east of Exeter.
