St Leonards and St Ives
This category lists websites for the combined parish based around the original villages of
St Ives
and
St Leonards
which have merged as a residential conurbation north of the A31 into
Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole
unitary authority.
The unitary authority boundary is with
Hurn
directly south on Barnsfield Heath, where
Hurn Forest and Moors River are north of Bournemouth International Airport.
At the parish's south east, the A338 road separates Barnsfield Heath from the county boundary with Hampshire,
coinciding with the River Avon.
The A338 separates Avon Heath Country Park from Avon Heath Nature Reserve before a residential area to
the north of Leybrook Common, and south of Ashley and the A31.
North of the A31, the forested area of Ashley Heath separates the built-up area of the parish from
Verwood
on the Hants border further north.
Ashley Heath is connected to
Three Legged Cross
to the north west, and
West Moors
is directly west.
Ferndown
is south of the A31 where it forks to the A347 leading south west.
Before the unitary authorities were established, St Leonards and St Ives parish was in East Dorset, but
is in the Westminster parliamentary constituency of Christchurch.
Addresses have the postcode starting BH24 after Bournemouth, yet the postal town of Ringwood in Hants.
