Waters Green Brockenhurst Leaflet map

Waters Green and Black Know form a conservation area characterized by open forest grazing land, historic fords, and a mix of 18th–20th century buildings. Key architectural features include white painted roughcast cob cottages, small‑paned sash and casement windows, slate roofs, red brick villas with yellow brick quoins, and Arts and Crafts Careys Manor. Historic field boundaries remain visible on the ground. The area’s townscape is defined by an unfenced forest lawn penetrating the settlement, narrow lanes with compact turn‑of‑the‑century development, picket fences, and mature specimen trees along the A337. Important views focus on the green, Black Know, and the Weir. Suggested enhancements include removing overhead cables and managing commercial impacts on the green.
