Little Paddock Certificated Location is a small caravan and motorhome site recorded in the grounds of a private property at 218 Hurn Road, Matchams, between Ringwood and Bournemouth. Matchams sits on the heathland strip west of the River Avon, with Ringwood and the western edge of the New Forest about 3 miles north, Avon Heath Country Park and Moors Valley Country Park both within a few miles, and the Bournemouth beaches around 8 miles south. Please check before you travel. The Caravan and Motorhome Club no longer lists Little Paddock among its Certificated Locations at Ringwood, and holiday lodges are now being marketed at the same address, so the touring status of the site is unclear at the time of writing. Ring 01425 839975 before you set off. Little Paddock is recorded as a caravan and motorhome location with no tent pitches.
What is the current status of Little Paddock Certificated Location?
Unclear, and worth a phone call. The Caravan and Motorhome Club's Ringwood Certificated Locations page currently lists Airview Farm, Old Farm, Pine Copse Farm and Sabines Farm, but not Little Paddock, and holiday lodges are being advertised at the same Hurn Road address. Ring 01425 839975 before travelling.
Can I pitch a tent at Little Paddock?
No, Little Paddock is recorded as a location for caravans and motorhomes with no tent pitches. Certificated Locations run by the Caravan and Motorhome Club are limited to five touring units at a time in any case, so they are small by design rather than tent style campsites.
Where exactly is Little Paddock?
The address is 218 Hurn Road, Matchams, Ringwood, BH24 2BT. Matchams is the strip of heath and woodland between Ringwood and Bournemouth Airport, reached off the A31 at Ringwood. The site is in the grounds of a private property rather than on a commercial holiday park.
How far is Little Paddock from the beach?
Bournemouth's beaches are around 8 miles south of Matchams by road, which puts the seafront, the pier and the Oceanarium within easy reach for a day out. Ringwood, an old market town on the River Avon with a brewery of its own, is about 3 miles north.
Is Little Paddock in the New Forest National Park?
No, Matchams lies just west of the National Park boundary, which follows the River Avon near Ringwood. The Forest itself is only a few minutes drive east through Ringwood, and Moors Valley Country Park and Avon Heath Country Park are both closer still, on the same side of the river.
