The New Forest National Park is the ideal getaway for a long weekend. With its mix of idyllic glades, ancient woodland, open moors, heathland and coast, it really does offer a great variety of walking opportunities. We stay in Lyndhurst, a village which is known as the capital of the New Forest and a popular spot for walkers. Barbara will help you get the very best out of the area with a lovely selection of leisurely walks.

We stay at the Penny Farthing Hotel in Lyndhurst. It is a privately run hotel which prides itself on a warm welcome. Whilst some of the rooms feel a little dated, they are clean and comfortable.
