Autumn is one of the most wonderful times to visit the New Forest. Our woodlands become a riot of colour as the vivid greens make way for rich oranges, reds and golds and the fallen leaves make for great fun kicking your way along the footpaths, especially if you have younger members of the family with you!
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.
Strange as it may sound, one of the reasons the magical New Forest looks so wild and beautiful is because of us humans!
It was King William the Conqueror who started it all, after he invaded in 1066. And, in the main, it’s the activities of the Commoners and their ponies...
In the summer months there’s nothing better that getting outside and exploring all the wonders of nature. Summer is a great time to embark on a nature walk and take in some of the sights of newly-born animals or to try and spot some of our National Park’s more elusive residents.
The clocks are forward, the sun is out, the flowers are blooming and in the New Forest that means only one thing – Spring has sprung! After the long, dark winter our magical New Forest is bursting into life so now’s the time to take a wander through our Ancient Woodland to watch the leaves emerge.
The New Forest is so magical and we want everyone to be able to explore every part of it, no matter what their mobility is! Whether you want to discover the beautiful wildlife in our heathland and woodland, or if you fancy enjoying the beautiful scenery of the coastline, we have the perfect accessible routes for you.
There are a hundred different reasons why people visit the New Forest. They want to see our countryside. They want to experience our quiet, secret coastline. They want to eat fine food in our restaurants, cycle our trackways, and try a little forest bathing.
The New Forest is full of all sorts of fun & excitement and there are always loads of different events happening across the National Park to get everyone involved in the forest fun, especially in the Summer!
The New Forest is a beautiful place full of wildlife and nature, but you may not ever get the chance to see it coming to life as much as this lucky family did a week ago, on their own driveway…
