New Forest National Park
Ancient woodland, heathland and roaming ponies across the New Forest - endless free walks, viewpoints and family-friendly picnic spots.
Perfect for families who want a proper wild day out for free. Park up near Bolderwood or Blackwater, pack a picnic and let the kids spot ponies, deer and (if you're lucky) piglets snuffling the paths.
