Location & Nearby Attractions
About The New Forest.
The New Forest is a world a million miles from your everyday life where ponies, cattle, donkeys, pigs and deer roam free…
There is a wealth of things to do and places to explore in the New Forest. From 140 miles of tracks and trails, to the award-winning gardens at Exbury, the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, leisure and wildlife parks including the famous Peppa Pig World at Paulton’s Park, plus much, more.
Discover the cobbled streets of our wonderful Towns & Villages or take a stroll along the Coastline of the New Forest!
Each season provides a change of scene from the rich deep colours of spring and summer to the seasons of mists and mellow fruitfulness in autumn.
Restaurants
With Lyndhurst high street just a short stroll away there is a large choice of places to eat including most nationality restaurants, pub food and takeaway options. For those extra special celebrations or a special treat, there are also a selection of fine dining eateries in the area.
Sight Seeing
The New Forest is famous for the ponies, cattle, donkeys, pigs, deer and other animals that inhabit the vast areas of spectacular landscapes that change with the seasons.
Visit the rural villages that each have their own individual characteristics or the coastal resorts boasting harbours and beaches.
In high season there is an open top hop on, hop off bus service that links many of the attractions.

Museums
Day Trips
There is a plethora of local day trips but if you fancy going a bit further afield you could take a day trip to the stunning Studland bay beach and nature reserve, visit the Isle of Wight (via ferry from Lymington), or sample the foods and local produce at Saturdays artisan market in Lymington.
Adventure
There is lots to keep the kids (and adults) entertained. Book a boat trip, spend the day in Lymington’s sea baths with inflatable obstacle course, see some of the forest by horse back, test your balance at Go Ape, embark on a family bike trail… These are just a small number of the many things on offer.
