Burley, in the New Forest national park


Nestled among ancient woodlands, heathlands, and open pastures, the village epitomizes the quintessential rural English countryside. Its location within the national park means it is surrounded by stunning natural landscapes, historic wildlife, and the iconic New Forest ponies.


Burley has an intriguing connection to witchcraft, primarily through the legacy of Sybil Leek, a famous white witch who lived in the village during the 1950s. This historical association has contributed to the village's mystical reputation and attracts tourists interested in folklore and supernatural history.
