TheForest of Bere is a mixed-use partially forested area inHampshire immediately north ofFareham,Portsmouth and Roman Road,Havant and including a small part of theSouth Downs National Park.[1][2]

The former uninterrupted forest is now a mix of woodland, open space, ponds, streams,heathland, farmland anddownland interspersed by minor villages and the major settlements ofWaterlooville (withCowplain) and Eastleigh (withChandlers Ford).[3] There are a number ofpaths and bridleways for walking and cycling. In the southern portion, towards the area south of theQueen Elizabeth Country Park,conifer plantations were created in the 20th century.

Not to be confused with the former royal Forest of Bere in Dorset.
