Lyndhurst
Lyndhurst, New Forest, Hampshire. But whatever
you do... don't stay there! Too busy! During the season it
is almost impossible to get around by car and the streets and shops
are teaming with 'day trippers'
Minstead is a far better option
For some Lyndhurst is just a thoroughfare for the
journey to Southampton, but if those people driving through stopped in
the village they would discover just how much it has to offer.
Lyndhurst has been the "Capital" of the Forest area since William the
Conqueror established the area as a royal hunting ground in 1079, and
has been visited by Kings and Queens throughout the centuries who came
to stay at the Royal Manor.
A must for any visitor to Lyndhurst is the New Forest Museum, an
unique guide into the Forest's history and heritage. The museum
details the development of the Forest since its creation by William
the Conqueror, and provides a first-hand exhibition of life and work
in the Forest and demonstrates the best the Forest has to offer.
Lyndhurst offers the visitor a wide range of shops, both high street
names and those exclusive to the village, popular with those seeking
that special souvenir of their visit to the Forest. And naturally
there is a wide range of tea rooms pubs cafes and restaurants to
discover.
Key attractions: Wild life watching - Deer, Badgers, Foxes, New Forest
Ponies. Watch the Deer being fed daily between Easter-September near
Bolderwood in the New Forest.
There are several walks including the Deer Watch Trail (0.5 mile), the
Jubilee Grove Trail (1 mile), the Tall Trees Trail (1.5 miles) and the
Radnor Trail (2 miles). There is also a Reptile Trail (1.5 miles) and
a longer woodland walk called the Wilverley Wander (2.5 miles).
Essential kit: Binoculars, walking shoes and a trail map. Plaster of
Paris for making animal footprint imprints. Get hold of a wildlife map
from the visitors' centre. Nature watching: Dusk is a good time to
watch deer in the forest. The best times to see badgers are April and
May. There are special hides for spotting the deer - but avoid the
middle of the day If you want to go on an organised butterfly safari -
trips run every Saturday.
Access: There are three access friendly trails for wheelchairs and
pushchairs - Boldwater, Black Water and Whitefield Moor - obtain guide
at visitor centres. The New Forest can be very boggy in Winter so keep
to gravel tracks.
Getting there: Three main routes in from the M27 junction 1 (busy in
Summer), the A35 from Southampton, and the A31 from Bournemouth.
Trains stop at Ashurst, Beaulieu Road, Brockenhurst and Sway within
the forest - ring 08457 484950 for times.

This magnificent example of an early
Victorian, Manorial farmhouse, was once owned by 'Jack
Hargreaves' of television's 'Out of Town' fame. Set
in four acres of informal gardens and paddocks. It is the
ideal place for those wanting a quiet break away from the
hustle and bustle of suburban life right in the heart of the
New Forest. However should you want a little exercise, there
is a tennis court which may be used. (by arrangement)
