Things to do in the New Forest
The New Forest is a beautiful part of Southern England covering around 219 sq mi and stretches from Hampshire into Wiltshire. There are many places you could stay in the area but one popular option is to go for luxury holiday cottages in the New Forest, this option allows you the flexibility of self-catering accomodation but with the indulgence of staying in a fantastic cottage in superb surroundings.
Whilst in the New Forest, here are some ideas on things you could do in the area:
New Forest Wildlife Park
For the animal lover, the wildlife park offers the chance to experience nature in natural surroundings. You can see animals like Bison, Otters, Red Deer, Wolves and an array of Owls to name a few! Also on-site is an adventure playground and restaurant.

Paultons Family Theme Park
Home to the popular Peppa Pig World, Paultons Theme Park offers visitors a chance to get up close to the wacky world of Peppe Pig. But if your children are too old for this, then there’s plenty of family and thrill rides to be enjoyed here also.

Beaulieu
The New Forest also has some impressive castles and museums like Hurst Castle which sits on the coast, used as Henry VIII’s device forts as was Calshot Castle. Or why not check out Beaulieu where you can find Beaulieu Abbey, Beaulieu Palace House or the National Motor Museum. What’s more is that you only need to purchase one ticket to access all these attractions and more!
