The New Forest National Park

The New Forest famed for its ancient hunting grounds and wild ponies has recently become England's first new National Park in the new millennium.  The diversity of it’s landscape is second to none and includes woodland, coastal land and open heathland.  Much of the New Forests landscape provides an abundance of recreational activities for walkers, cyclists, horse riders and others, the area is also of great importance to nature conservationists.   The National Park status gives assurance that the New Forest will be protected and conserved for its entirety for future visitors and residents.

Book a holiday home in the New Forest

For your holiday this year why not consider staying in a self catering holiday home on a pretty farm in a quiet and beautiful area of the New forest with access to the lovely forest walks.  Alternatively opt for a luxury hotel in the New Forest and enjoy a relaxing spa break in a tranquil environment.  If your staying amid the New Forest in a log cabin remember to keep your eyes peeled for the New Forest ponies, which roam freely on the New Forest terrain.

As DaltonsHolidays.com allows you to book directly with the owner, it may be worth talking to the owner about what your looking for on your weekend or long break to the New Forest (ie: walking, cycling, horse riding holidays) as they should be able to provide you with some good local advice.   

Places to stay in the New Forest
