9th Feb - Last of the House Based winter venues

In December, January and February the New Forest Forest Church meets at Fairwinds, Stonehills, Fawley, SO45 1DU. This gives the twin benefits of nearby coastal walks, a wild-ish garden overlooking woods and water yet all a few steps from a log burner!

However, parking isn't abundant and with a care home nearby the narrow lane has regular visits from ambulances. The map below indicates some of the best parking nearby. If walking is difficult let us know in advance and we'll ensure there is space on the drive. 

There's lots of parking at Ashlett Creek - 6 mins walk away; There's normally one or two spaces half way between Fairwinds and Ashlett Creek where Stonehills lane splits into two and a grass verge lies between the two. There's quite a bit of parking in Calshot Close just before the turn off from the main road to Stonehills. You can then walk down Stonehills to Fairwinds or via a small wood (pick up the the footpath that runs between a tin garage and a house called Armadale).
