Burley's alluring credentials stretch back to ancient times, with remnants of Iron Age hillforts and Bronze Age barrows testament to its long-standing inhabitance. Its name, a combination of Saxon words implying a fortified palace amidst a woody clearing, speaks volumes of its pastoral origins. This tradition continues with the village's practice of commoning - where ponies and cattle are free to roam and graze - which lends a unique charm to this quaint village.

A quintessential English village, Burley offers a smorgasbord of local amenities from cosy tea rooms and traditional butcher's shop, to antique shops and art galleries. Sports lovers are also catered for, with the village home to a cricket club, a football club, and a golf club. And let's not forget Burley's notorious associations with magical traditions and smuggling exploits, which add a dash of intrigue to its rich tapestry.

Burley's vibrant history and unique charm are easily accessible, with its location a mere 4 miles southeast of the town of Ringwood. Its historical significance, however, extends beyond Hampshire's borders, as it shares twinning honours with the picturesque village of Beurlay, located in Charente-Maritime, France.

When to visit Burley

Planning your sojourn to Burley largely hinges on what you want to experience. For warm-weather activities, the period from June to August offers the perfect canvas for outdoor exploration, with July being the warmest and clearest month. It is also the period with the most outdoor tourist activities, making it an ideal time for a family holiday.

However, if you're enticed by the charm of British autumn and would love to experience Burley under a tranquil drizzle, October is the month with the most rain. Nevertheless, rest assured that regardless of when you choose to visit, the magic of Burley is ever-present, and with LycaFly, you'll find a hotel accommodation that perfectly dovetails with your desired experience.
