Tiptoe is a small village in the New Forest National Park in Hampshire, England.[1] It lies mostly within the civil parish of Hordle[2] and partly within the civil parish of Sway.[3] It is 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) west of Sway village, and about 2 miles (3.2 km) northeast of the town of New Milton.
Tiptoe had just under 100 residents in 2007.[4] It has two churches, and a primary school with an associated pre-school.[5][6] The parish church is dedicated to Saint Andrew and is the daughter church of All Saints’ at Hordle.[7] The Tiptoe Stores and Post Office closed in 2008,[8] despite a campaign to save it.[9] Just outside the village lies the Plough Inn, the premises of which date from about 1630.[10]
