New Forest Glamping

The New Forest National Park is well known walking and cycling territory – a few top spots nearby include the Wilverley Inclosure (10 minutes' drive), Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary (20 minutes) and trails around Brockenhurst (20 minutes). The last of these is also a handy place to hire bikes. For different outdoor days, go fishing at Orchard Lakes (10 minutes), play a round at Burley Golf Club (10 minutes) or join hacks from Bagnum Equestrian Centre (15 minutes). Lymington (25 minutes) has watersports and a seawater swimming pool, or you could sign up to bound across the inflatable assault course at New Forest Water Park (25 minutes). Beach swims more your thing? Try Avon Beach (15 minutes) or the popular sands of Bournemouth (25 minutes). Less active outing options nearby include the Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum (10 minutes), the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu (half an hour) and Exbury Gardens & Steam Railway (40 minutes). Families may also like to try the Dorset Heavy Horse Farm Park or Paultons Park, Home of Peppa Pig World (both 25 minutes).
