Ashley (New Forest)

New Forest on the envelope, New Milton out the window·Hampshire·South East England

Ashley is the part of New Milton that got the New Forest into its name and bungalows into its streets, and it knows which of the two gets the viewings. The ponies are a short drive one way and the sea a short drive the other, and neither turns up at the end of your road. What you get instead is post-war semis and single-storey homes built for people who were done with stairs and never missed them. Barton on Sea sells you the cliff edge; Ashley sells you a neighbour's immaculate hedge, and the neighbour would like it kept that way.
