Place names often provide us with much more than a way of identifying a particular location.  They can give us clues as to what might have happened at a site or what it was used for.

The place names listed here all have a story behind them.  They have been gathered from a variety of sources, casual conversations, published articles and oral histories.

We are interested in the origins of all New Forest place names, but particularly those that may not appear on any maps, but are still used by people to describe your locality. If you would like to contribute to the LIving Register please email livingregister@newforestnpa.gov.uk.
