The New Forest, a former royal hunting ground, is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that captures the essence of the authentic English countryside. It’s a place of living history where the famed New Forest ponies, cattle and donkeys roam freely, creating a magical atmosphere unlike anywhere else in Britain. Keep an eye out for the majestic deer or the colossal 'veteran' trees, some of the oldest in Europe. A holiday here invites you to embrace the slower pace of life, breathe the clean, pine-scented air and reconnect with the great outdoors.
