New Forest Lepe Country Park
Coast, countryside and beautiful views
Lepe Country Park - the view across the coast
New Forest Lepe Country Park is a stunning place where New Forest coast and countryside meet and lots of WW2 history too. This is a great day out for all the family whatever age.
Here's what a visit to New Forest Lepe Country Park has to offer you:
- Stunning views across The Solent from Hurst Castle to the Spinnaker Tower in Portmouth
- Family fun - pack a picnic and eat on the beach while paddling
- Year long events for all the family
- Wildlife watch - wading birds from the nearby nature reserve, beautiful butterflies from the wild flower meadows.
- WW2 history - D Day remains and fantastic stories of the clever operations of 1944.
- Walks and cycling routes for all
- Quiz trails
- Wildlife Days
- Nostalgia Events
- Arts and Crafts
- Barbecue hire for family gatherings or large parties
- Chargeable car park
As well as all this you can get:
- Meals and snacks - sit down or take away at the beach front cafe.
- Dogs are welcome in many areas depending on the time of year.
- Disabled facilities and access in most places apart from steep or rough terrain
- Toilets for disabled access and baby changing areas too
What would I recommend?
If you are a family with children - go at any time and just enjoy the stunning views, the beach, the walks and perhaps a cycle along the paths.
If you are an older couple I would go out of school holidays to really enjoy the WW2 history, the views and the close proximity of the Isle of Wight - it's seems like just a few hundred feet away.
You can wander around, have a paddle, watch the wading birds, soak up the sun and views and enjoy the feeling of space, hopefully with peace and tranquility.
There is lots going on in the beautiful New Forest Lepe Country Park and the forest really does go down to the Solent here. For more details
