Blog (Romantic) - Visit The New Forest

The best way to make the most of this special time before autumn and winter really get to work is to get outside and enjoy it - and that’s where the New Forest comes in.

Winter is coming…and with it, the most romantic season of the year. As the days get shorter and the nights grow long, we can’t think of anywhere better to enjoy time out as a couple.

2020 has certainly been a very strange year so far and one that has taken a toll on all of us. A great way to combat all the stresses and strains of recent times is a change of scene and reconnecting to nature… cue the New Forest.

The perfect way to get away this summer is on a staycation in the UK, and where better to feel the freedom, rejuvenate and relax than in the beautiful New Forest National Park nestled in the south-central coast of England.

Here in the New Forest we believe that every day should be Valentine’s Day. Which is probably why we’re regularly flagged-up as one of the UK’s most romantic places to come on holiday to or visit for the weekend!

The days are beginning to get longer and you can still enjoy the benefits of log fires, cosy pubs and long winter walks on crisp mornings during February. The New Forest becomes as magical as ever in February with frosty scenes and perhaps even a dapple of snow across the heathland. So, pop on those walking boots, grab your camera and head out for a New Forest adventure!

The magical New Forest is the perfect place to indulge in a getaway. We’re only 90 minutes by train from London and under two hours by car from most of the south of England. Once here, however, you’ll feel a million miles from all the city and work stress – we have 220 square miles of forest and heath plus 40 miles of tranquil coast for you to endure.

The temperature is dialling down and Christmas preparations are ratcheting up. Which means it’s the best time of the year to discover one of the New Forest’s best-kept secrets – our fabulous spas. Whether you want to lose weight for THAT Christmas Party, relax before the Big Day, or treat yourself to a major, de-stressing pamper then we have the perfect place...

The clocks have gone back, the days are growing shorter and winter has started to beckon. So, may we proudly present one of Mother Nature’s greatest free shows? Autumn in the New Forest! As the temperature drops our magical forest is transformed from a solid green canopy to a wonderland of colour as the leaves on our trees turn scarlet, orange, pink and gold.

When it comes to picnics, where you eat is as important as what you eat which is why we’ve compiled our own guide to best places to throw down the tartan rug in the New Forest so you’ll always find the one that’s perfect for you.
