The Burley Inn is situated in a place of great beauty and interest, right in the heart of The New Forest. You do not have to travel far to find such places as The Rufus Stone, Bucklers Hard and Beaulieu Abbey. Burley was on the main smuggling route from the coast to the south but also has a historic connection with witchcraft (as some local shops demonstrate) and it was as recent as 1950 that Sybil Leek, a self confessed white witch, lived in the village.
