Ashlett Creek leaflet

This leaflet explains what a conservation area is and how it may affect you. It shows the boundary of one of the 32 conservation areas and points out some of the features which make it special.

Ashlett Creek

New Forest Conservation Areas

This attractive hamlet of historic buildings dominated by the imposing 19th century tide mill is a small and intact example of an old Waterside settlement. It is a reminder of what small settlements along Southampton Water coast must have looked like last century. Ashlett is sandwiched between the power station and the refinery but still manages to retain this sense of history — quite literally a backwater.

Of the handful of buildings in this hamlet, three are listed as being of special architectural or historic interest. Recently an environmental improvement project has restored its landscape character.
