Running down the western side of the New Forest to the Hampshire coast, New Forest West contains both small rural and coastal communities such as Ringwood and Lymington, and the community of New Milton, just outside Christchurch, which might more properly be considered to be part of 'Greater Bournemouth'. As in most of rural Hampshire, this is a safe Conservative seat with the Liberal Democrats in a fairly respectable, but non-threatening second place.
