It won’t be long before we are donning on the warmer coats and wellies and seeking out cosy places to stay in the winter months.

If you are looking for a winter getaway, then consider a break in the New Forest. Transform yourself into a Narnia-like land, with beautiful forest walks as you explore the New Forest National Park.

Winter adventures in the New Forest

As well as the amazing walking routes you can take, why not book onto some of the New Forest’s other outdoor activities?

Take a guided cycle ride with New Forest Cycle Tours, try your hand at archery, axe-throwing and cross-bows with Insight Activities or paddle with Santa along the Beaulieu River on a tour with New Forest Activities.

There’s bike hire available at several spots in the forest, including down the road from Pinewood Cottage in Lyndhurst.

Places to escape to on those colder days

If the weather’s not playing ball then you can find some great days out that are within a short reach of our cottage. Beaulieu is home to the National Motor Museum, with fascinating exhibits of cars and other motoring memorabilia from across the years.

Pop along to Lymington and top by at the St Barbe Art Gallery & Museum, with its changing exhibits.
Do some pre-Christmas shopping or after-Christmas sales shopping at Ringwood’s Furlong Centre or travel slightly further into Southampton’s Westquay Shopping Centre with its flagship John Lewis and M&S stores.

Plus, be sure to look out for events taking place at some of the New Forest’s arts venues including Forest Arts Centre.

Feast on some tasty local fare

Head to one of the New Forest’s pubs for some traditional pub dishes. Warm yourselves up by a roaring log fire and relax. Do get in touch with us if you’d like to know some of our guests’ favourite spots.

Plus, when you book a stay with us, you can enjoy some tasty cream cakes upon arrival!
