Community Toilet Scheme
The Community Toilet Scheme makes it easier for people with mobility difficulties to explore and enjoy more areas of the New Forest. While there are no public toilets in the northern part of the Forest, businesses elsewhere across the Forest that are part of the scheme display a window sticker indicating the toilet facilities they offer. More details about the scheme can be found here: Community Toilets - New Forest.
