Bisterne is a hamlet in the civil parish of Ringwood in the New Forest National Park in Hampshire, England.

[2] The church of Saint Paul, Bisterne, was built in 1842 of brick with stone dressings to a design by George Evans.

It was situated to the east of the B3347 road between Bisterne and Kingston, It was used by the United States Army Air Forces as a fighter airfield.

In order to kill the dragon, a valiant knight (usually named Berkeley) built a hide, and with two dogs lay in wait.

[5] The fight raged throughout the forest, with the dragon finally dying outside Lyndhurst, its corpse turning into a great hill (now known as Boltons Bench).
