Neighbourhood highlights
With its remarkable range of plants and animals, ancient tradition of commoning, varied history and distinctive local communities, the New Forest National Park is unique. The landscape of the New Forest National Park is beautiful, rare and fragile.
The Park also boasts 26 miles of lesser known but very important coastline, around 1,000 ancient trees and the most extensive area of heathland remaining in Europe, as well as clean air and a sense of wildness that is hard to find. There are many miles of crystal clear streams, rivers and ponds. This special environment inspires local food, drink and crafts of the highest quality.
Finally, the New Forest is one of the most intact networks of wetland habitat in Western Europe. Its mires, bogs, ponds, rivers and streams are one of the Forest's most precious qualities, a key reason why the area was designated a National Park.
Getting around
There is free parking next to the lodge on site. Everything you need is within easy reach. There are local pubs to either walk to or drive. There is a shop onsite and even a bus stop just outside the park. Embraced in the Forest but still within easy reach of the Motorway which can take you to the sights close by.
