Explore the magic of the New Forest
The New Forest is a 220-square-mile paradise between Southampton, Ringwood and Salisbury. This ancient woodland and heathland is home to over 7,000 grazing animals. Wild ponies roam freely, as well as deer, donkeys and cattle. The New Forest is the perfect destination for full or half days out if you enjoy landscapes, nature, walking, cycling, horse riding and history. And it’s only 10 minutes away from Summerbreeze Orchard, which is located on the west side of the New Forest.
