What to do and see in New Forest National Park Hampshire, England: The Best Transportation

March 10, 2022 Veronika Gaddis

If you need a word to perfectly describe New Forest, “welcoming” would be it. The lowland (i.e. no mountains) park is filled with scenic views and wide trails that beg to be explored as they wind through centuries-old woodlands. Visit Bolderwood, a protected forest and deer sanctuary that was once the hunting grounds of the Norman kings. Fish at Moors Valley before heading skyward for a treetops walk. Prefer the country-house life? Head to Beaulieu, where you can get lost in the Victorian-era at the Palace House before following in the footsteps of medieval monks at the property’s abbey.

Hurst Castle

Located within the New Forest National Park, Hurst Castle is situated on the seaward end of the shingle spit that extends 1.5 miles from Milford-on-Sea, Hampshire. Built by Henry VIII as a chain of fortresses to protect the Solent in 1544, this is the site where Charles I was imprisoned in 1648 before being taken to his trial and execution in London. The castle was modernised during the Napoleonic wars and again in the 1870s when the enormous armoured wings were added, making it the largest coastal fort in the world. Two of the huge 38-ton guns installed in the 1870s can be viewed in their casemates together with other weapons developed through 412 years of military use. During World War II, Hurst was manned with coastal gun batteries and searchlights. You can get to Hurst Castle by ferry from Keyhaven Quay (sat nav postcode: SO41 0TP) or you can walk along the shingle Hurst Spit. The castle is currently closed, however refreshments are available from outside the castle.

Our visit to Hurst Castle was definitely a highlight of our trip to the New Forest, probably second only to a particularly great tree at Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary. We had a very enjoyable mooch around (tudor castle to the left, tea room to the right) learning about the history (built by Henry VIII, King Charles I was a prisoner there) and enjoying the views from the top. Room 8 is definitely worth a visit. Excellent lighting.

Travelled from Lymington to Yarmouth and back, pleasant and helpful check in staff at both terminals, well organised boarding procedures on both journeys. On the outward journey we couldn't hear the safety briefing as there was a party of extremely noisy and highly excitable school children on our deck! On the return we were aware that our ferry had slowed down and the captain announced that we were awaiting the other ferry to clear the ship channel before we could enter. the delay was minimal and disembarking was carried out in an orderly manner and in no time we were off the ferry and on our way..Considering these ferries have a very quick turnaround time we were impressed by how clean the tables were, no rubbish laying around. The great bonus for us was that Lymington to Yarmouth is only a 40 minute journey, although we tended to get to the ferry terminal an hour before sailing to ensure that we were near the front of the queue for boarding and therefore hopefully near the front of the queue for disembarkation. When we next travel to the Island we will certainly look to travel with Wightlink again.
