New Forest

The majestic New Forest where wild ponies and deer roam free is only minutes away and can be explored by walkers and cyclists. Other activities nearby include horse riding, fishing, golf and water sports. Lyndhurst is the 'capital' of the New Forest and has an excellent visitors centre to give tourists an introduction to the area.

Hampshire and Dorset’s varied coast is twenty minutes drive from the hotel through unspoilt countryside. Bournemouth, fifteen minutes away, is the perfect seaside resort to combine shopping, entertainment with visits to the beach. Stonehenge and the history rich cities of Winchester and Salisbury with their cathedrals, shopping centres, markets and museums are only thirty to forty minutes away by car.

Burley

Burley is a village with plenty of curiosity and character that still holds to its forest traditions like commoning. Many of the residents still graze their animals in the forest and allow them to roam free.
The village is renowned for its links with witchcraft dating back to the 1950's due to a resident at the time - Sybil Leek. She often wandered around Burley in her long black cloak with her jackdaw perched on her shoulder.
Today the village is a magnet for tourists and offers gift shops, traditional tea rooms and the odd pony or a few cattle in your path as you wend your way down its charming narrow lanes.

The New Forest

The New Forest is the eighth National Park and possibly the most diverse in terms of wildlife. William the Conqueror was so awestruck by its beauty that in 1079 he set it aside for his own hunting and that of his Royal parties. Today the New Forest is visited by well over 13½ million people of all age groups. This in turn has increased the need to protect the species that live here and the way of life that has evolved among the forest folk over centuries.
