Days Out in the New Forest
family holidays to remember forever!

Welcome to my Days Out in the New Forest recommendations

New Forest pigs - three piglets having fun!



Days out on your holidays in the New Forest mean you will take home really special memories of your fantastic stay here.

Whether you are looking for a fun filled family adventure, or something more sedate and relaxing - I can give you my personal recommendations. As I visit each one this year, and in future years, I'll keep you totally updated on what I've found, so that whichever venue you choose, you'll have a chance to have a really great time.

Fun Days Out - for all the family

Getting About

  • New Forest Tour Bus There are now 2 great routes for you to choose - see all of the New Forest - all on an open topped bus. Read my New Forest Tour - the open top sightseeing bus for details of routes, prices and information. My New Forest Tour Review tells you the fun we had - even when we got caught out in the rain! And we could have taken us bikes onboard too!
  • Cycling

  • Cycle Experience - Brockenhurst - an Eco Hire centre and cycling for all ages and experience.
  • Forest Leisure Cycling - Burley - for a family fun day out with lots of routes to choose from.
  • Country Lanes - the railway station Brockenhurst - family fun
  • Sandy Balls Cycle Centre - Fordingbridge - for all the family on a less toristy part of the New Forest

New Forest Tour - open top sightseeing bus around the New Forest

Wherever you go and whatever you do you'll need a map!
OS Explorer 22 is the most detailed one for the National Park, so why not buy one today?

  • New Forest Activities - Beaulieu and Bucklers Hard - family fun for all
    also Archery, Bush Craft and Rope courses.
  • New Forest Water Park - Ringwood - waterski, waterboard, bananaride and tyres

Holiday Parks



Highcliffe Castle on a wedding venue day in March - look at the sky? Historic Houses and Gardens





New Forest piglets - see some similar ones at Longdown Activity Farm. A Day Out on the Farm?

  • Longdown Activity Farm - this farm is family run for family fun!
    you'll meet piglets, goats, chicks and lots more - and have a tractor ride too.
  • If you are staying near Ashurst Campsite this would be an ideal trip for all the family to enjoy


Owls, Otters and Birds of Prey and lots more too


Fishing

  • Sandy Balls Holiday Centre - for the experienced angler who wants to fish the River Avon - also nearby Somerley Lakes - day tickets are available from the sandy balls Cycle Centre
  • Fishing in the New Forest - Forestry Commission sites close to Ocknell or Roundhill Campsites - there's lots of other really great suggestions and Events info on this page too!
  • Rockbourne Trout Fishing - off the New Forest but offers day permits and evening fishing - relax after work!
