Lyndhurst is a large village and civil parish situated in the New Forest National Park in Hampshire, England. Serving as the administrative capital of the New Forest, Lyndhurst is a popular tourist attraction, despite local traffic congestion, with many independent shops, art galleries, cafés, museums, pubs and hotels.
Known as the Capital of the New Forest, Lyndhurst houses the New Forest District Council. The first mention of Lyndhurst was in the Domesday Book of 1086 under the name 'Linhest'. The Court of Verderers sits in the Queens House in Lyndhurst. The church of St. Michael and All Angels was built in the 1860s, and contains a fresco by Lord Leighton and stained-glass windows by Charles Kempe, William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones and others. Local folklore records Lyndhurst as the site of a Dragon-slaying, and as being haunted by the ghost of Richard Fitzgeorge de Stacpoole, 1st Duc de Stacpoole. Alice Liddell, the inspiration for Alice in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, is buried there.
A royal park was attached to the manor of Lyndhurst from a very early date. It was unusual for being a King's Park within a King's Forest. In 1299 it covered an area of 500 acres (202 ha), the profits from the honey gathered there amounting to 2 shillings per annum. It was actively worked during the 14th and 15th centuries when payments were made for the fencing and repairing of the palings. The old Park of Lyndhurst is where the Parkhill Hotel now stands, the new park being on the A337 Brockenhurst road.
The village is the administrative capital of the New Forest, with the district council based in the village. The Court of Verderers sits in the Queen's House in Lyndhurst. The local headquarters of the Forestry Commission, the body that handles the maintenance of the softwood plantations, forest roads and paths, and controlling the spread of invasive plants, such as rhododendrons and gorse is also based in the Queen's House.
The church of St. Michael and All Angels is a major landmark, built of many different colours of brick, on one of the highest points in the village. Other major landmarks include Glasshayes (also known as the Lyndhurst Park Hotel, and haunted, according to local tradition, by Richard Fitzgeorge de Stacpoole, 1st Duc de Stacpoole) and the adjacent Bolton's Bench, a picturesque hill to the east of the village which, according to local folklore, was originally the corpse of a dragon; and a row of much photographed thatched cottages on the road to the neighbouring hamlet of Emery Down. Lyndhurst is also home to the New Forest Centre, which includes the New Forest Museum and New Forest Gallery.
Lyndhurst is notable in English folklore for being the supposed location of a dragon-slaying. The local tradition is that a dragon had his den at Burley Beacon in Burley. Alice Liddell, also known as Alice Hargreaves, the inspiration for Alice in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, lived in and around Lyndhurst after her marriage to Reginald Hargreaves, and is buried in the graveyard.

New Forest Country Walk - Lyndhurst-White Moor-Mallard Wood-Beaulieu River-The Ridge round
Our video is a guided walk in the New Forest. We start in the village of Lyndhurst the Capital of the New Forest and walk down the High Street to the Forestry Commission car parks and Bolton's Bench and then make our way to the cemetery. We walk over White Moor to Mallard Wood, follow the Beaulieu River and on to Matley Wood then return to Lyndhurst via The Ridge. We film some great footage of a Stag and his Hines as well as a white stag and a white doe. We also see plenty of forest ponies.This is an easy flat walk over forest heath land, through woodland and beside the Beaulieu River on grassy paths and tracks. Approx 4.75 miles allow 1 hour 40 minutes using OS Explorer map OL22, New Forest. Start: Lyndhurst near the White Rabbit pub and hotel on Romsey Road (the A337). There are public toilets in Lyndhurst at the visitors centre situated in the main car park just off the High Street and for refreshments there are many shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants.
