Location:

Bickton, which lies just south of Fordingbridge, is a small but charming hamlet with a mix of period and more modern properties. Located on the eastern bank of the River Avon, the New Forest National Park boundary is a short distance to the east.

Location:

The village is convenient for access to Fordingbridge where you will find a variety of independent shops and eateries, a supermarket, post office, library, building society, medical centre & churches of various denominations. Schooling is also available in the town with Infant, Junior & The Burgate Senior School & Sixth Form. Nearby Hyde School is also a feeder school to The Burgate School. The village is within easy walking distance of the A338 and the X3 bus service connecting Salisbury and Bournemouth. Salisbury is 11 miles to the north where there is a mainline rail station to London Waterloo. The M27 junction 1 is some 8 miles via the B3078 from Fordingbridge.
