The local area
This little hamlet is set in beautiful countryside and woodland just a few kilometres west from the ‘capital’ town of the New Forest – Lyndhurst. It’s a pretty place with a comprehensive mix of ancient cottages, some from the 16th and 17th Century, as well as worker’s cottages and grander houses and homes built around the 19th Century. As you can imagine, there are lots of gorgeous chocolate box photo opportunities here. Bring your bike or don your walking shoes as there are some stunningly beautiful walks in and around Bank. The Oak Inn is considered by New Forest locals to be one of the best pubs in the area. The building dates from 1719 with low beams, horseshoes, inglenook fireplace, raw brickwork, wood panelling, nooks and crannies. The pub serves divine food and has a pleasant outdoor area where the forest’s free roaming ponies and donkeys like to gather.
