    • About Fordingbridge

    Fordingbridge is a small country town on the banks of the River Avon.  It was recorded in the Domesday book and the name has evolved through the years from `Forde' and `Bridge'.
    The first Great Bridge, built in medieval times, is up stream from the ford and is a major feature of the town with its seven graceful arches.

    Once an industrial town and commercial centre, Fordingbridge boasted many trades such as brickmaking, pottery and textiles. It was also noted for its smuggling and the infamous Captain Diamond, the `Smuggler King' spent much of his time here in a local hostelry. The town has developed into a wonderful place for visitors with its beautiful scenery, nature havens, cycleways and welcoming people.
