The Forest is only a few minutes stroll from the door, and you’ll find much to discover, good places to eat, and fantastic family attractions.

If you’re the adventurous types you can go kayaking and canoeing or try your hand at archery with New Forest Activities. Take the kids to Longdown Activity Farm or to Beaulieu where you can visit World of Top Gear, the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu Abbey and nearby Buckler’s Hard.

Further afield you can spend the day soaking up the maritime history in Southampton where you can find out about the sinking of the Titanic at SeaCity Museum; or in Portsmouth you can grab some retail therapy at Gunwharf Quay, go up in the Spinnaker Tower, and to the historic dockyards to see The Mary Rose or HMS Victory. Pack a picnic and take off to the sands at Highcliffe or Poole, where you can catch the ferry over to Brownsea Island. You could even take a day trip to the Isle of Wight!
