Location:

Lyndhurst is located in the heart of the New Forest, in the South of England. The site itself sits in 65 acres on the outskirts of the town.

Map of the area:

Foxlease is accessed in the following ways:

By train:

From London Waterloo – trains to Brockenhurst – journey approximately 1hr 40mins. Brockenhurst is 4 miles from Lyndhurst so the onward journey to site would be by collection or taxi. For routes not including London – always plan for destination Brockenhurst.

By National Express Coaches:

Coaches depart from Victoria Central Coach station in London – to Lyndhurst. Collections are possible for those travelling in this manner. There is a local bus service that operates down the road at the entrance to the site, but it is apparently infrequent.

By road:

Foxlease is signposted, but there will be further SCA signs to guide those coming by car. The site is:

- 89.5 miles from London

- 3 hours drive from Dover Ferry Port

- 1hr 20mins from Heathrow airport

- 2 hours drive from Gatwick airport

- 2hrs 30mins from Stansted airport

- 30mins from Southampton Airport

By air:

The closest airport is Southampton, but it is not a big one. The best airports to fly into is to one of the London airports and arrange forward travel either by train or road (through hired vehicles or pre-arranged collection by local/passing SCAdians).

Please bear in mind that for collections beyond a certain distance, a small charge may apply, to cover fuel costs.

Site Information:

Foxlease is a girl guides activity centre sitting in 65 acres of land. The site consists of 3 separate buildings: The Coach House, The Barn and Princess Margaret Lodge. All buildings have their own bunk bedrooms, crash space Rooms, toilets and showers. The SCA has exclusive use of this site and there will be no other groups on the estate.

The site is wet and allows naked flames. There will be a designated area outside for smokers, please respect this, as by UK law smoking is not allowed indoors. No pets are allowed on site.

The site has got an Archery field, should there be a call for this activity during the event.

Off-Site Accommodation and facilities:

Lyndhurst is a well-known beauty spot and is on the tourist trail of the South of England and the New Forest area. As such it has an abundance of B&Bs and Hotels that cluster closely to the location of the event site. There are various websites that list these accommodations. Unfortunately there appear to be no Hostels within easy distance of the site.

The town’s High Street is approximately 500m from the event site and includes food shops, pharmacies and Banks with ATM machines. There are also a varied number of restaurants, cafes and fast food outlets on the High Street. Please see the virtual high street diagram below.

The nearest large General Hospital is 8 miles away in Southampton, although there is a community hospital 10 minutes from site in Lymington, which has a minor injuries unit.

While Lyndhurst does not have its own gas station – there is one in Brockenhurst (4 miles away) on the A337 South of the site, and another equidistant on the A337 North of the site.

Medieval Market Traders:

We are happy to announce that there will be several Medieval Traders setting up stalls in the main Hall during the Saturday of the event. Some are SCA members, and some are not, but I would encourage people to bring your pouches of coinage when viewing the fine wares these gentles have to offer.

Traders:

Kate Phillips Pottery

Kate has traded her pottery wares many times at SCA events and is willing to take commissions, and bespoke orders (including items decorated with personal heraldry).

Baroness Ursula Starlasdottir

Baroness Ursula has served twice as Vicereine of Insulae Draconis and is often to be found behind her market table, selling handmade jewellery and buttons amongst other things. She is also known for her delightful Viking-weave chains.
