It has miles of open forest and enclosures, along with walking, cycling and horse riding routes. There are many interesting towns and villages within a short drive of the centre, such as Lymington with it’s famous Saturday Market, extending down the whole of the High Street, Beaulieu and the Motor Museum, Bucklers Hard and Lyndhurst. Just a short train journey away are Bournemouth, Poole and Southampton.
