The village is frequented by New Forest ponies, cattle and donkeys who take a detour from the surrounding open forest to wander down the village lanes. Nearby is Royden Woods, a nature reserve with paths and tracks to cycle or walk to Brockenhurst. For more shops, the busy Georgian Marine town of Lymington is just 3 miles away.
Pilley is home to the oldest pub in the New Forest, The Fleur de Lys, which has served drinks since 1096. Pop in, and you’ll find a list of previous landlords since 1498 proudly displayed by the entrance. This chocolate box, picture perfect thatched pub is as exceptionally historic and traditional inside, as it is out. Vast inglenook fire places crack and fizzle in the colder months and during warm sunny months, a lovely beer garden beckons you outside. Service is fast and friendly and the food holds an outstanding reputation.
Other notable attractions in the village include the stunning woodland garden at ‘Spinners’. Here, you can see unusual and rare plants, and enjoy a tea and coffee in the quirky visitors ‘Cabin’. If you love soft fluffy, funky sheep then look at New Forest Mohair.
