- Winchester -
The ancient capital of England, Winchester is famed for its beautiful cathedral, King Arthur's legendary Round Table and has been inspiring visitors for centuries, including Keats who wrote his Ode to autumn, while staying there.
- New Forest -
The New Forest is England's newest National Park and was once a royal hunting ground for William the Conqueror. Today deer, ponies and cattle continue to roam free in its ancient heaths and woodland.
Take a stroll around the quaint traditional villages, explore the dusty antique shops or enjoy a pint of locally brewed cider or beer in one of our many friendly pubs.
Clear rivers and shady groves provide tranquillity and a car-free haven for walking, cycling and horse riding. There are plenty of opportunities to hire a bike if you're coming from afar. Or if you are feeling more energetic, The New Forest offers canoeing and kayaking opportunities on the gentle Beaulieu River. And with the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, the 18th Century village of Buckler's Hard and Exbury Gardens nearby, there's fun for all ages.
New Forest area
Burley depicts everything you would expect from a traditional, New Forest village. Nestling in the lea of a hill surrounded by an area of true outstanding natural beauty. A dramatic contrast of colourful heath lands, mighty oaks, beaches and lofty pines. Ponies and cattle roam freely around this lovely village, following ancient forest tracks used for centuries by Commoners and their livestock. Burley is one of the few remaining villages that still practice the old tradition of Communing, allowing animals to graze on the Open Forest. Picturesque thatched cottages tucked away in unexpected places help conjure up how like was in the past. Burley has remained untouched by time, steeped in old customs and history, enabling visitors to unwind and enjoy its tranquil atmosphere.
Witches, smuggling and dragons are also part of burley's unique character. During the late 1950's a famous 'White' witch named Sybil Leek lived here. She was often seen walking around the village in a long, black cloak with her pet jackdaw resting on her shoulder. Unfortunately, because her attire fitted the image of a wicked 'black' witch, the locals were upset by her presence and she decided to live in America where she continued writing many books on the occult and astrology, including "Diary of a Witch". One of the gift shops was named by her and has her picture hanging by the old Jacobean fireplace inside.
The Queen's Head pub, built in the 16th century, was notorious for smugglers and highwaymen. A hidden cellar was discovered beneath the floor of the "Stable bar", full of pistols, bottles and coins believed to be one of the hiding places of smugglers.
