Beaches in the New Forest
With a name like New Forest, a beach day might not be your first thought, but this fabulous National Landscape boasts a breathtaking coastline to rival its wooded interior. With views across The Solent to the Isle of Wight, the south coast promises many lovely beaches, from the wild-tipped sands of Hengistbury Head to Avon Beach, where colourful beach huts and powdery sands promise a wonderfully traditional experience. Choose a charming seaside town for easy access to ice creams, or opt for one of the wonderful wildlife reserves for a merry mix of birdwatching and sun-worshipping.
Things to do in the New Forest
If you’re here to immerse yourself in the great outdoors, you couldn’t have come to a better place. Heather-topped moorland invites you to bask in the rolling landscapes, while the moss-covered forests boast a bountiful variety of woodland walks, from dog-friendly treks to wheel-friendly trails. Although mesmerising in the day, visiting after dark will reward you with lots of superb stargazing spots, inviting you to see the landscapes in a different light. If you’re holidaying with the kids, Peppa Pig World at Paultons Park is a must, while the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu promises a curious combination of history and high-powered fun. The many lovely towns and villages scattered throughout the New Forest are an attraction in their own right, with high streets lined with independent shops and fascinating art galleries full of local works. Visit the bustling market town of Lymington for fabulous boutiques or Lyndhurst for cosy cafés and welcoming pubs.
Places to eat in the New Forest
The New Forest’s foodie scene is as vibrant and homespun as the woodland that surrounds it, offering a mouthwatering mix of traditional pubs and lip-smacking restaurants that serve superb locally sourced dishes. Welcoming farm shops offer an assortment of farm-fresh fruit and veg - not to mention delicious breads and deli delights - while sun-soaked vineyards and microbreweries promise to put a hop in your step after every visit. With the coast on your doorstep, you can also dine to sweeping sea views, or visit one of the New Forest’s incredible fine dining restaurants that offer beautiful interiors and dishes to match.
