About Driveways and Paving in Verwood
Verwood grew up on the edge of heathland close to the New Forest, and the town became known for a distinctive local pottery, made from clay dug from pits around the area and fired in kilns that operated for centuries before the trade eventually declined. That pottery, now often called Verwood ware, can still be seen in local museums and collections today. The surrounding heath and forest give the town a genuinely rural setting despite its growth in recent decades. Streets close to the centre keep an older character, while newer estates have spread out further into the heathland, towards Ringwood and Ferndown, and the sandy soil here generally helps with drainage.
