Much of the New Forest is made up of endless open heathland. In spring and autumn it is spectacular – a purple carpet of heather speckled with vibrant yellow splashes of gorse. In off-peak seasons visitors will find quieter roads, a good choice of accommodation –the New Forest boasts four of the top 200 hotels in the country – locally produced good food, and a forest all their own.

In the scattered woodlands, there are magnificent ancient trees, crystal clear streams and sunny glades filled with flowers and butterflies. Where the forest meets the sea you can relax on the beaches and enjoy magnificent scenery.

Whether you are walking, cycling or horse-riding, you can discover your own quiet haven where the only sounds are those of nature – the haunting cries of the curlew and lapwing, or the mellow tune of the woodlark.

For your stay in the New Forest, you may want a hotel, guest house, bed and breakfast, hostel, camp site, spa resort, self catering cottage or a holiday park – simply select your chosen accommodation to view more details.
