Poppy Pods
NOTE: For all enquiries/to sign up, please contact Hampshire County Council directly.
Located in New Forest National Park, the Enda Ryan Poppy Pod Village is the Tile Barn Outdoor Centre’s legacy to Armed Forces personnel. These Pods are there in perpetuity to recognise and remember the sacrifices made and faced by the Armed Forces Community. With the help of the Armed Forces Covenant, the Royal British Legion (Brockenhurst Branch) and Hampshire County Council, this project has been made possible. The pods provide residential holiday/respite facilities for Service personnel (Regular and Reservists), veterans and their families, and have been designed with accessibility in mind.
