Check out our New Forest Guide
Discover the timeless magic of the New Forest alongside Heritage House. Stretching across ancient woodlands, open heathland and peaceful villages, this unique National Park is home to free-roaming ponies, deer and a landscape that has remained largely unchanged for centuries. Whether you’re seeking a gentle stroll, a family-friendly cycle ride or a longer adventure through the forest, the New Forest offers space to breathe, explore and reconnect with nature.
Our new Visit New Forest page is designed to help you make the most of every visit. Inside you’ll find practical information on the best walking and cycling routes, recommendations for local bike-hire shops, suggestions for welcoming pubs and cafés, and highlights of the villages and attractions that give the area its distinctive character. From the bustling high street of Lyndhurst to the riverside charm of Beaulieu and the coastal edge at Lymington, we’ve gathered the essentials in one place.
Cycling is one of the finest ways to experience the New Forest. With over 100 miles of waymarked trails, including traffic-free routes and quiet forest tracks, there is something for every ability. Our page points you towards reliable local hire centres and suggested rides, while our cycle maps mark the full network of paths, Forestry Commission marker posts and recommended routes so you can explore with confidence.
Walkers will equally appreciate the wealth of options, from short village rambles to longer trails through heathland and woodland. Pair the online guide with one of our detailed walking maps and you’ll unlock quiet tracks, scenic viewpoints and hidden corners that many visitors never find. The maps are carefully researched, clearly marked and ideal for both first-time visitors and those who already know and love the forest.
