Dibden is a small village located in the New Forest district of Hampshire, England. The village is situated on the eastern bank of the River Test, which is known for its excellent trout fishing. Dibden is a quiet and peaceful village, with a population of around 3,000 people. The village has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age.

One of the most notable features of Dibden is its beautiful countryside. The village is surrounded by rolling hills, lush green fields, and dense forests.

Kings Hat (New Forest)
This Walk Is Located Off Beaulieu Rd On The Right If You're Coming From Southampton, And Is Tucked Away Through A Small Gathering Of Trees. Much Like Most New Forest Walks, There Is A Small Driveway Leading Up To A Circular Car Park, Which Is Not Particularly Large. You Can Head Off Down The Path (An Obvious Route) And It Will Take You To A Small Bridge Over A Stream. The Stream Is Lovely For The Dogs To Have A Play In. Once You Come Through The Forest Area It Opens Out Onto A Huge Area Of Heathland, And Moderate Sweeping Hills. You Could Spend A Long Time At This Place If You So Desired!
