Welcome to the Emery Down Village Website --
a website for the village by the village. It brings together all the key areas of village life - the Almshouses, Church, Local History Group, Phone Box, Pubs and the Village Hall - and includes information specific to the New Forest.
It is the place where you can join the Email Lists for local news and events in the village as well as the Neighbourhood Watch group.
New Forest ponies
The New Forest pony is part of the traditional forest scene and has been for more than a thousand years. Although the ponies are owned they are left to live as wild out in the forest.
Please follow The New Forest Code.
