Verwood Area Guide

Area Guide to Verwood and the surrounding area

Verwood is a bustling and thriving town that has the charm of a smaller village community. The area has grown dramatically over the last 15 years and at one time was the fastest growing town in Europe.

Ferretts Green in the centre creates the ‘heart’ of the town with the parade of shops including the local butchers, Costa Coffe and The Old Pottery. Once a month, a busy farmers market pitches up and creates a hive of atmosphere.

A large Morrisons Store is within half a mile of the centre and the town lies just a few miles from Ringwood and Ferndown with a choice of Waitrose, Tesco and Sainsbury.

Verwood borders Ringwood Forest which stretches north to Alderholt and west to Ringwood. Potterne Park provides fantastic outdoor activity with 24 acres of playing field and tennis courts that then continue onto Moors Valley Country park and Golf Course.

There is a choice of three superb First schools which includes Emmanuel Middle School which is also the location of the local Youth Centre. The town is served by two Upper Schools in Wimborne and Ferndown to both of which is a school bus service.

The housing stock varies from one bedroom apartments to family homes and larger executive properties. There is a great choice of bungalows in a variety of locations.

Verwood offers fantastic commuter links to Bournemouth and Poole and via the A31 to Southampton and London.
