Built around rural lanes south-west of Ringwood, St Ives grew into a residential community close to the Dorset–Hampshire border. The settlement lies near the Avon Valley, shaped by the River Avon on its route towards Christchurch Harbour, while Moors Valley Country Park extends to the south through woodland, heath and open space. St Ives forms part of the St Ives and St Leonards area, on the settled fringe between Ringwood and the Bournemouth–Poole urban area. Moors Valley is also home to a miniature railway, adding a family-oriented local landmark to this corner of east Dorset.
