Welcome to Poulner

Poulner is a small village located in the New Forest district of Hampshire, England. It is situated on the outskirts of Ringwood, a market town that lies on the River Avon. Poulner is a peaceful and picturesque village that is surrounded by beautiful countryside and woodland. The village has a population of around 2,000 people and is known for its friendly community and strong sense of community spirit.

Poulner has a rich history that dates back to the 12th century. The village was originally a farming community and was known for its fertile soil and abundant crops. Over the years, Poulner has grown and developed, and today it is a thriving village that is home to a range of businesses and amenities. The village has a primary school, a post office, a village hall, and a number of shops and pubs. There are also several parks and green spaces in the village, including Poulner Recreation Ground and Poulner Lakes.

One of the main attractions of Poulner is its proximity to the New Forest National Park. The park is a vast area of heathland, woodland, and grassland that is home to a wide range of wildlife, including deer, ponies, and birds of prey. The park is a popular destination for walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers, and there are many trails and paths that lead through the park.
