The New Forest is an extensive area of quaint towns and villages, wide open spaces, parklands, forests, moors, and clifftop pathways located on the south coast of Britain, just 90 minutes by train from London. The entire area just begs to be explored, so give yourself enough time to savor the variety of activities, which include walking, hiking, cycling, mountain biking, and scenic drives on land as well as sailing, canoeing, kayaking, and more from the beaches.
The New Forest is famous for its wild horses and donkeys and equestrians can join them on a gallop across the moors. You can enjoy great shopping and dining in the towns and villages, visit the famous Beaulieu Motor Museum, or relax at one of the health spas.
