Heading down to the New Forest tomorrow but don't really have a clue what there is to do down there Confused

Basically looking for somewhere to walk the dog and get something nice to eat somewhere. Any recommendations?

Joe, try Brokenhurst, my mum was the manager of a campsite there for years, i spent months in the area.. I t has wild ponies walking about the village, good pubs, very friendly place.

Lymington is good for a mooch around.
Burley is a lovely old village, very tranquil.

Sammy Miller motorcycle museum is not a million miles away either.

Lymington would ne nice if it's sunny, but it's more coastal than the New Forest.

Apart form that it is just a load of woodland. Would be a good idea to lay your hands on an Ordinance Survey walkers map.

The Home/Motor museum at Beaulieu is also good, not quite sure on the requirement for dogs though.

Go to "three legged cross" and go see the bike shops on the industrial estate. 4 or 5 decent sized shops there. (if you get bored)

brockenhurst isnt to bad, theres a few pubs/ little shops there and alot of forest to walk about. if you go from brockenhurst to beaulieu on the big long open straight just after u come out from the trees, dont speed as the bastards hide with speed guns along there. Is a shame my bikes not working i could have shown u about, i only live a few miles from beaulieu.

Stayed in the Holland's Wood campsite 3 or 4 times and seem to remember it being very good, although slightly dearer than some other's.
