The sight of a pony ambling nonchalantly along Brockenhurst’s picturesque high street on its way for a quick drink at the watersplash ford is a memory that never leaves you. There are many areas of the New Forest where animals are free to roam, including cattle, sheep, ponies and, for a few months in autumn when they’re rooting for acorns, pigs. Indeed, not so long ago, there were reports of a donkey popping into the local Tesco .
The cosy living room and well-stocked kitchen were ideal for our family of three, while the garden was secure enough for our puppy to run around in. The owner also left a welcome pack with advice on where to eat and what to visit. Tudor history Another must-see is Hurst Castle, just off the coast of Lymington. The huge artillery fortress was built by Henry VIII, used during the English Civil War 100 years later, then pressed into service again in the First and Second World Wars as part of a network of defences around the Solent. It’s relatively untouched so you really can get a sense of what life was like in Tudor times.
Eating out When travelling with a young child, it’s often tricky to find places that get a thumbs up from both him and us. After our visit to Hurst Castle, we got the ferry back to Keyhaven and lunched at The Gun Inn, a gorgeous little pub that dates from the 1700s. It offers classic pub grub, with a decent kids’ menu, and dogs are welcome, too. Warming up by one of the cosy fires after a windswept ride on the ferry was very welcome indeed.
