In addition to the splendour of the forest though, you are only a few miles away from the sea at Hythe. You can watch some of the world’s longest cruise-liners sailing into Southampton docks, and even take a ferry ride into Southampton itself from the end of the Hythe Pier.

Where to eat

If you’re looking to enjoyed the best British food than the award-winning Le Poussin at a Whitley Bridge or its sister in the centre of Brockenhurst, Simply Poussin , worth a visit. If you want something a bit simpler and more affordable than there are many good pubs in the area, and any off the friendly locals will be happy to recommend their favourite.

Alternatively, why not try Brookley’s Bistro and Wine Bar which is a great place to enjoy a taste of France all day long, serving coffee and pastries in the morning, light lunches and romantic evening dinners.

When to go

The new Forest is delightful at all times of the year on with its landscape looking dramatic in all seasons. Of course most visitors will enjoy the area most during the war months but it can become very crowded in the peak summer, which spoils the tranquillity, so spring and autumn are ideal.  At the same time you can also visit the other lovely towns in the New Forest such as Lymington and Lyndhurst.
