the new forest / milford on sea

[plippy]

Am of to the new forest / milford on sea for a week with the good lady and the little monkey, av rented a bungalow down there, any ideas of whats good to see down there? am gona venture up to longleat and the car museum but am not sure what else is round there

Beaulieu motor museum is good, they have the top gear cars there at the moment.

 

A must see is to drive along Rhinefield Ornamental Drive, from Brockenhurst...it then crosses the A35 and into Bolderwood Arboretum Ornamentle Drive. Its an amazing drive, from Redwoods, Pines, Beechs, to Douglas, and then follow it out onto the open heath land and take the windey roads until you get to the Red Shoot Pub. When you cross the A35 stop in the first car park on your left park up and take path into woods across rd to see a beautiful old pollarded oak.

 

And of course a heap of lovely old pubs scattered about.

 

ENJOY

Have a look on line at moores valley country park. About a fiver to park good dayout for kids 6+ . Good if you are walking or cycling.

If you are going to Longleat and have tesco vouchers you can get an all year pass for 4 for £20 worth of points 13 rides each . Normally costs about £80. Lasts season or year cant remember so you could go two days as you wont do everything in a day.

if its horrible weather then you could go down to calshot, they have an indoor climbing wall and other rhings, or you could see if you can find some deer in the forest IMO the best place to see them is north of beauliu, park at pigbush and walk out in to the beechwoods,

 

beautiful part of the world, they do wicked cream teas in Lyndhurst and they have an oldie worldy sweet shop as well as a farrari garrage to drool over:001_tt1:

Burley's a great place to visit with the family (near brock). Small village with lots of old style shops (that are great to go in and look around and buy nothing!) with new forest ponies wandering around as well.

 

Hope the weather better than today!
