Set in over 219 sq. miles of woodland and heathland, the New Forest dates back to 1079 when the then King of England, William the Conqueror, designated the area as his personal hunting grounds. Today, it’s one of the most beautiful places to escape to for a few days.

With its numerous attractions such as Beaulieu’s National Motor Museum, Exbury Gardens and the forest’s seemingly endless miles of tracks and nature trails are inhabited by an array of wildlife……perfect for cyclists or ramblers alike.

Of course, the Forest is famous for it’s wild, roaming ponies and picture postcard villages too. We’re also blessed with over 40 miles of coastline and the Isle of Wight ferry is on our doorstep, handy if you’re taking a trip across to the ‘island’ and in need for refreshment!

In the near future, we are planning to create a number of cozy B&B rooms within our own pub grounds, but there are a number of places we can recommend to rest your head.

Or for those wishing to get back to nature there are several campsites within a couple of miles reach.
