After what feels like the longest wait, summer is finally here! Warmer weather, that familiar summertime buzz makes the New Forest a great place to visit for your UK staycation.

Check out what’s to see in the New Forest this summer as well as our offers at Pinewood Cottage.

The Famous New Forest Ponies

New Forest Ponies
Now is the perfect time to spot the New Forest Pony foals and baby donkeys. A beautiful sight and there will be some great photo opportunities.

As well as the cute babies, the handsome stallions will be out and about so keep your eyes peeled and don’t forget your camera!

Smell of the Tropics

Summer is full of beautiful, vibrant colour and the thickets of gorse are no exception. You can’t mistake the bright yellow petals and the distinctive coconut aroma. The gorse is looking spectacular at the moment and the peak season only runs until the end of June.

Grab the Picnic Basket

There are many picturesque places to visit in the New Forest so there are plenty of opportunities to pack up the picnic basket, take a stroll and rest for some light lunch.

Exbury Gardens
Our recommendation is visiting Exbury Gardens. At this time of year you can see their world-famous collection of colourful azaleas and rhododendrons. Exbury Gardens is dog friendly and has a playground and miniature steam railway making it a great family day out.
