Ferndown & Ringwood
To the north of Bournemouth lay the small towns of Ferndown and Ringwood. Made up of woodlands and heathlands the area has some fine golf courses and in the east is the gateway to the New Forest National Park.
Ringwood is a historic market town located on the river Avon that flows out to the sea at Christchurch. The local Dorset brewery of Ringwood is located here and the centre of the town known as the Furlong has a pleasant selection of shops and cafes.
