Ringwood is the Western Gateway to the New Forest at a crossing point of the River Avon. It
has been the traditional market town of the New Forest for centuries, with its market
charter dating back to 1226. Ringwood still has a lively Wednesday
morning street market and has remained a delightful, unspoilt historic
town with both quaint and modern shops, street entertainment,
restaurants, pubs and cafes.
A stroll along West Street to view the River Avon from the old
three-arched stone bridge is worth the time. Jubilee Gardens in Ringwood are
also a nice place to visit.
The parish church of St. Peter and St. Paul is also well worth a visit.
Built in 1855 the church contains many memorials from earlier times,
including a brass to John Prephete, Rector of Ringwood, who died 1416,
and an unusual thirteenth century double piscina. The tower has eight
bells.
