1. New Forest National Park
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1,810 reviews
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...

Easy and really responsive booking via email. Karen turned up at our hotel (Spot in the Woods, Woodlands) with bikes, helmets and trail map) exactly as booked. Really good fun cycling on nearby well marked, woodland gravel trails. Payment easy on the spot, and collected bikes without further need for checking out. Fun and fantastic service.

The most friendly staff ever! Hiring the cycles for us was easy and straight forward. We were able to rent out two bikes for a reasonable cost and had a lovely cycle around the forest tracks. They even gave us a special map! Highly recommend this place.

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.

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.

The museum in the New Forest Heritage Centre is packed full of displays and activities about the New Forest. The Impressions of the New Forest National Park film show welcomes you to the New Forest Museum and sets the scene for your visit. Discover why ponies are kept on the Forest and why we shouldn't feed them! See the Beaulieu Road pony sales yard display and soak up the atmosphere of the sales yard by listening to the sounds of a typical trading day. Visit our Family Fun Tree! There's something here for all ages and you'll find out more about how to enjoy your time in the Forest. The New Forest Heritage Centre is owned and run by the registered charity New Forest Heritage Trust.

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.
