Forest of Bere

Waterlooville, Italy

Forest of Bere

The Forest of Bere is a mixed-use partially forested area in Hampshire immediately north of Fareham, Portsmouth and Roman Road, Havant and including a small part of the South Downs National Park. The former uninterrupted forest is now a mix of woodland, open space, ponds, streams, heathland, farmlan

d and downland interspersed by minor villages and the major settlements of Waterlooville (with Cowplain) and Eastleigh (with Chandlers Ford). There are a number of paths and bridleways for walking and cycling. In the southern portion, towards the area south of the Queen Elizabeth Country Park, conifer plantations were created in the 20th century. Not to be confused with the former royal Forest of Bere in Dorset.
