Let the kids run free, get hands-on with nature, and enjoy the simple joy of spending quality time together.
Nature Adventures…
for the Whole Family
The New Forest National Park is an outdoor playground for all ages, offering endless free activities. Walk alongside free-roaming ponies and deer, let little explorers follow scavenger trails, or enjoy a picnic in a hidden meadow.
Older children can hire bikes for a forest ride, while toddlers can safely explore easy-access trails like the picturesque Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary Walk. On rainy days, the New Forest Heritage Centre in Lyndhurst offers interactive exhibits and hands-on learning, making nature fun for all.

New Forest Hotels are ideally located for some of the UK’s best family attractions.
Paulton’s Park, home to Peppa Pig World, is a must-visit, filled with rides and themed play areas. Beaulieu Motor Museum brings history to life with vintage cars, a monorail, and hands-on exhibits.
For wildlife lovers, the New Forest Wildlife Park introduces children to otters, owls, and deer, while Lymington’s coastal walks and boat trips provide a mix of seaside charm and adventure.
