Lyndhurst is a village in the New Forest, Hampshire, England. It is often called the "Capital of the New Forest" and is a popular tourist location with many shops, cafés, pubs and hotels. Lyndhurst is also home to Museum. The nearest city is Southampton.
Alice Liddell, also known as Alive Hargreaves, the inspiration for Alice in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, lived in and around Lyndhurst, and is buried in the graveyard of the church of St. Michael & All Angels, Lyndhurst.
The Church itself is a major landmark, being built of many different colours of stone, on the highest point in the village. The church was built in the 1860s, and famous paintings and stained-glass. Other major landmarks include Bolten's Bench, a picturesque hill to the east of the village; and a row of much photographed thatched cottages in the neighbouring hamlet of Emery Down.
The village is the administrative capital of the New Forest, with the district council and Verderers' Court based in the village. The headquarters of the Forestry Commission, the body that handles the maintanance of the softwood palntations; forest roads and paths; and controling the spread of invasive plants, such as Rhododendrons and Gorse is based in Queen's House in the Village.Villages in Hampshire|Lyndhurst
