Station connections
Runs to Brockenhurst, Sway or New Milton for the train, timed with a margin for ponies on the open forest roads.
Pre-booked Burley pickups
Burley Taxi & Private Hire
Arrange a private hire journey from Burley village, a holiday cottage or a property on the lanes around it. King Taxi reaches Burley from Brockenhurst across the open forest, by advance booking, with the fare confirmed in writing first.
Advance booking and availability
Burley has no station, no rank and patchy mobile signal on the approaches, which makes the pre-agreed pickup time and meeting point matter more here than almost anywhere else we serve. Book ahead and confirm the details in writing.

Airport transfers
Fixed-quote departures to Bournemouth, Southampton and the London airports from the village and nearby lanes.
A village reached across the open forest
Every road into Burley crosses unfenced forest where ponies, donkeys and cattle have right of way, and the run from the A31 at Picket Post or across from Brockenhurst is slower than its distance suggests. Our timings assume the livestock; a pickup planned from a satnav estimate does not, and that is how visitors miss trains.
Burley is also a village of holiday lets down named lanes rather than numbered streets. Send the property name with the postcode and any approach detail — which side of the lane, whether there is a gate — because BH24 4 covers far more ground than one cottage.
Getting to a train, and getting home at night
With no station of its own, Burley's rail connections run through Brockenhurst for the mainline, or Sway and New Milton when they fit better. Tell us the train you are catching, not just a pickup time, and we will work the margin backwards from it.
The other staple is the evening out: dinner in Brockenhurst or Lymington, a return at closing time. Book both legs together — a confirmed outward journey does not reserve a car for later, and late availability across the forest is limited. With thin mobile coverage on the lanes, a firmly agreed time and place beats a phone call that may not connect.

Before you book
Burley taxi FAQ
How do I get from Burley to a railway station?
Pre-book a run to Brockenhurst, Sway or New Milton with the train time included. We will time the pickup with a margin for the open forest roads.
Do you collect from holiday cottages around Burley?
Yes, by advance booking. Send the property name, postcode and any approach instructions — lanes here are named rather than numbered.
Can I book an evening return from a pub or restaurant?
Yes. Request the outward and return legs together so both can be checked; late cars are limited and mobile signal on the lanes is unreliable.
