New Forest National Park

The New Forest National Park is truly unique. It’s a ‘world capital’ for wildlife with a huge diversity of rare plants and animals– one of the reasons why it was made a National Park in 2005. A place of outstanding natural beauty, the unique landscape is shaped by the grazing of ponies, cattle and pigs that roam freely. These animals may appear wild, but they are owned by people called commoners. One of the last places in southern England to offer a sense of wildness and tranquillity, it’s a wonderful area to explore on foot, horseback, or by bike. Indeed William the Conqueror, who set aside the ‘New Forest’ for hunting more than 900 years ago, would probably recognise much of it today.

An amazing place nestled in Southern England .. Some of the closer town which boost of scenic boutique hotels are Lyndhurst, Burley and Romsey... The entire forest is absolutely scenic, stunning and lush.. you could easily see grazing Horse, cattle and deers.. Surely a perfect get away from London as it’s just a 2 hours drive and offers you a perfect relaxing moment to create memories to cherish. Plenty of places to visit if you intend to relax, rejuvenate, organize a team or family gathering, wedding plans or just want to hike by yourself to spent a me time secluded from the rest of the world.., I spent my 2 nights at White Buck Burley (separate review uploaded).. Their are many great restaurant options around town but surely recommend to drive down as having a car or bike is important... Enjoy and live your life...

Lovely shop, always worth a visit if you’re going through Lyndhurst. Lovely coffees which they can grind for you (the vanilla is my favourite) and lots of specialist gins which they know all about and you can try. Always very welcoming!

There’s more to this inclosure once you walk around it, follow the path,, use the QR codes to access information bites and you’ll learn more about coppicing and hopefully see a buzzard and revel in the tranquility and admire the beautiful beeches.

Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary

There is a viewing platform for deer. Picturesque forest and national park for the family. Very picturesque and ponies wonder around. It was very busy Easter Weekend but still and enjoyable day out, getting back to nature.

Reviewed By julianf982 - Holt, United Kingdom

This place is well worth a visit. There is no official charge, though a donation is requested on the voluntary parking meter. Parking space is extensive. We saw some beautiful fallow deer and had a very pleasant walk on a well waymarked woodland path. The downside was a thundery downpour towards the end of our walk. However, this did not unduly spoil the afternoon. If you like typical British woodland you will like this place.

Very enjoyable visit with lots to look at and it’s free to enter. Great coffee/tea room with great cakes and friendly staff and picked up some nice keep sacks from the very large gift shop, something for everyone.

This was an excellent shop to find - and even better they currently have a 20% off all items sale on (Nov 2019). There is no pressure when browsing, you're not followed around the shop. The owner is very calm and friendly and as the items we purchased were heavy offered to keep them for us so we did not have to carry them around whilst visiting other places along the High Street. An excellent place for gift and well worth the visit.
