The Central Southern England / Hampshire region

A wonderful region to take a holiday in, with the New Forest National Park and the south coast to visit. There are many attractions in the whole of the region and many wonderful towns and villages with holiday accommodation.

There are plenty of day excursion attractions in all areas e.g. Paultons Park, Marwell Zoological Park. Together with excellent shopping areas such as West Quay in Southampton and Castle Point in Bournemouth.

The New Forest / Brockenhurst area

The New Forest lies to the west of Southampton Water in south-west Hampshire and covers 37,677 hectares. Centuries of human management and livestock grazing have meant that the forest is a combination of heathland, ancient woodland, wetlands and grassy plains, with many enclosures of both coniferous and deciduous woodland. The commoners’ ponies and cattle roam freely across the forest, controlling and shaping the vegetation as they graze.

‘New Forest’, or ‘Nova Foresta’, was created by William the Conqueror as a royal hunting ground, and forest laws were enforced to protect the hunted animals and their habitats. These strict laws ensured that the hunting of deer and wild boar remained the closely guarded privilege of the King and his followers.

Over the centuries, deer hunting became less important, and by the 17th and 18th centuries timber production was the primary economic use of the New Forest. The New Forest Acts came into force, and areas were fenced off to protect young saplings from the grazing animals. It wasn’t until the Act of 1877 that two thirds of the forest were set aside for commoners to exercise their traditional rights.

Deer populations were left unmanaged until the 19th century when they reached levels that threatened the timber crops and competed with the commoners’ stock for food. The Deer Removal Act was established in 1851 and it was resolved that all deer were to be removed. Although total removal was not achieved, the numbers did reduce dramatically, and the Forestry Commission's keepers continue to keep these numbers under control today.

Recreation is important in the New Forest and with a large proportion of the forest being Crown land, access to the greater part is open and free to all. Local users and visitors from farther afield regularly enjoy participating in a wide range of recreation activities including horse-riding, dog walking and cycling.

Brockenhurst is a lovely New Forest village with a variety of shops and eating places as well as a main line railway station. You can hire bicycles in the village and cycle through the wonderful surrounding forest trails.

“Beyond Expectations” For my my mum's 60th birthday we needed somewhere for the family totalling 9 people to stay. Forest Lodge looked ideal and the place was amazing and exceeded our expectations. The place was clean and had everything needed to make for a most pleasant and enjoyable stay. There is plenty of room in the house and with children also in our group there was plenty of things in the house to keep them entertained. We would all highly recommend the Forest Lodge

“A well sized, family friendly house in a good location.” This house was in a great location right next to the woods in Brockenhurst and only 15 minutes walk to the shops, restaurants and pubs. The house has everything that you need and a spacious garden for the kids to play in. We visited with 2 other families and had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend. The house is well decorated, clean and tidy and well equipped and also as it has 2 bathrooms and another WC there is enough for everyone. The only things stopping us rating it a 5 is because that is an annexe attached that may be rented out when you are there so you wouldn't feel that it is fully your own. It wasn't rented out when we were there but it would be good to mention that it might be on the advert. Also it could do with a BBQ.....
