Welcome to the New Forest, a picturesque National Park in the South of England that’s renowned for its ancient woodland, diverse wildlife, royal history and characterful villages. Explore the countryside on a hike through the forest trails and encounter wildlife like the iconic ponies that roam in the heathlands. Families should head for the adventure parks, wildlife centres and nature trails throughout the park, while couples can enjoy a riverside picnic or a cosy pub lunch for two. Pretty towns and villages like Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst and Beaulieu are steeped in history and oozing with character, while coastal spots like Keyhaven and Barton-on-Sea provide a change of scenery with their dramatic cliffs and views across the Solent. Explore our New Forest cottages for your next UK break.

Our New Forest holiday park is a great option for families, with plenty of onsite facilities to keep both children and adults entertained,
New Forest holidays and romance go hand in hand. The stunning landscapes and natural beauty of the area are perfect for an intimate getaway.
