The 19 best parks and gardens in Fordingbridge

Amazing place! Came for my birthday and had an amazing time. Loved the vintage bus (Ellis was fantastic and credit to you) and very convenient for the mother in law who can’t walk very far. Very interesting on all aspects of the site from the cars (what I came for) and the Abbey and Palace House.

Always enjoy coming here, attended for the Formula 1 75 exhibition, but also had a look at all the cars on display. Enjoyed the monorail ride a look round the house and gardens, sad there was no classic cars out and about... Food was good and tasty 😋 Staff were chatty and knowledgeable and helpful. Overall a lovely day despite the weather

I thought it was a bit pricey to get in but we did spend most of the day there. We took the dog as we were visiting on our way home from holiday accommodation. The dog wasn't allowed on the bus, Monorail, main museum or house. Which meant I did a lot of waiting around with her. The cafe is expensive. £5 for a sandwich so would advise bringing your own. Tea for 3 , four sandwich outers and an apple juice, £38. The children loved the play area but we didn't take them to the house as we kind of ran out of time and wasn't sure how interested they'd be. They also enjoyed seeing Harry Potter's car and the, 'I had one of those' exhibition where you can get in the cars! The staff we came across were friendly and helpful. Whole area is clean and well tended.

I took my 6 year old daughter for her first visit (but far from mine) and she absolutely loved it! The weather held good despite the late October timing. She loved seeing Mr Bean's car and the Disney display but her highlight (and mine, to be fair) was riding on Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The driver was a blast and it was so cool to learn about the cars that were used in the film, and wave at everyone as we explored the grounds. Beaulieu is one of my favourite places to visit when I'm in the UK and I think I can now say it is the same for my daughter. Very highly recommended for anyone of any age.

Visiting this week in half term , my son wanted to see a Porsche 917 so I emailed before booking to confirm the car would Be on display , very pleasant personal reply with confirmation. Don’t be put off with the price for the tickets . You will spend the whole day here so does represent great value for money . My children really enjoyed the “ we had one of those “ section as they could sit in the cars and experience the cars we grew up with . Only points to mention , we had coffee and cake in the afternoon , rather pricey & the cakes were dry and not great . Also a lot of tables left uncleared and in places food on the floor under tables .

This is always a great visit and if you allow 'Gift Aid' your ticket becomes an annual pass (with some restrictions). There's so much to see and do, it's well worth revisiting. There's a good café and on our last visit there were special additional exhibitions Formula 1 and Disney's 'Cars'. We and especially our grandson loved it.

Worth a visit and any number of re-visits - Visited on Saturday, 28/06/25. 3rd visit here and the first for about 11 years. Lovely weather, which always helps, and there was a Morgan owners meeting taking place, so there was more to see than normal. Parking is near the entrance, but uncovered. Bought the tickets online in advance, so you get a discount, and it's straightforward to get in. Once inside, the initial options are a Monorail and restaurant/toilet facilities. Very pricey for anything in the restaurant (£5 for 2 cans of soda), so suggest you bring your own. The monorail is an excellent way to get an overview of the site before exploring on foot, and the ride is included in the entry price and can be ridden more than once. The old Top Gear exhibition has been replaced in part by a new section of example cars from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's that you can get in and reminisce about (though these cars are in a bit of a state tbh). Beyond that, we visited the main museum, which hadn't changed much in the past 10 years, but had exhibits moved around. The F1 section was very good with more recent examples of cars, and whilst we visited, an excellent F1 Simulator which you can go in (you have to pre-book) for £15 for 15 mins. It's worth it, so suggest you book a slot as soon as you arrive. On this visit, we didn't have the time to explore the house and grounds, but there are some lovely walks to be had. The staff are all excellent and approachable, and friendly, and though I have been 3 times now, I would have no qualms about making future visits as there is generally a change each year.

This is truly a place you should visit at least once when in the UK. We had a short 3-day cycling trip here. Everything was wonderful — from the scenery to the people. Just a note: you should prepare an offline map before coming, as in some areas the signal is very weak and you can hardly use online maps.

The rebirth of Foxlease Park, nice to see it back up and running, volunteered here back in February? And it was just nice to see it with life and music... Nice little room in the coach house, could do with an extra pillow, but nice time.

Absolutely beautiful forest, we saw so many horses and lots of cows! We didn’t manage to see any deers. The views are breathtaking and there are many different routes you can take. There is some free parking near Rockford sandpit. You aren’t allowed to feed or pet the animals

The New Forest is a brilliant place for families, especially with kids. The free-roaming ponies, donkeys, and other animals make it feel magical, and places like the Wildlife Park add more chances to see deer, otters, and birds. There are plenty of easy walking trails too, such as at Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary, and lots of open spaces that are perfect for picnics. Camping is well set up with designated sites, ranging from rustic fields to family-friendly spots with toilets and showers. Wild camping isn’t allowed, but the official sites give you space for kids to play and a good base to explore. Shops are small village stores or farm shops rather than big supermarkets, and toilets are generally available at visitor centres, though sometimes basic. The park doesn’t really have a big lake for swimming or boating, and indoor play options are limited, so it’s very much an outdoor destination. If you’re prepared for nature, fresh air, and a slightly rustic feel, the New Forest is a wonderful family escape where children can explore freely and see animals up close.

Beautiful place to go loads of open spaces for people to walk and cycle. Large areas for children play. Beautiful river at brockenhurst where you can often see horses and foals, cattle and sometimes donkeys and pigs.

Miles of tall trees creating dense forest. The forest offers great walking and cycling paths which link together towns and areas of interest.

Gorgeous place, well worth a visit if you appreciate nature. The ponies are such a treat to see. It’s also great for beginner cyclists as it has the Old Railway route created by Cycling UK. I felt like I was in a renaissance oil painting at times because the sights were so beautiful. Make sure to get out early to admire the sights as it gets very busy in August.

Visit 23rd May 2025 What a delightful experience. If you love flowers, don't miss Furzey Gardens. Rhododendrons and Azaleas were simply beautiful. Lovely walks amongst the flowering trees. Fabulous!

The gardens are located down a fairly narrow lane. There is a reasonable car parking, but which could easily become overwhelmed at busy times so plan your visit accordingly. Entrance is by a “suggested donation” of £10 per adult. The gardens are OK with a number of wooded walks to enjoy. Currently, there is a “dinosaur” theme going on, probably in anticipation of the forthcoming school summer holiday. There is a nice cafe for refreshments. These are not the prettiest of gardens, but have some pleasant walks and great for children to explore and run around.

A lovely garden to spend a few hours walking around. We visited on a sunny day and our 3 year old daughter had fun looking for the fairy houses. A bonus was the Jurassic event, which had dinosaur related artwork around the grounds to also find. You can easily spend a few hours here, and there is also a nice cafe / gift shop that serves hot drinks, cakes and cream tea. Plenty of onsite parking too.

With a 16th century cottage and wonderful food and drink at the coffee shop what more can you ask, but you are also transported to a gorgeously laid garden with hidden fairy secrets throughout. There is also a walk through the wild meadow garden over a small stream. We visited in October and the Autumn colours were visible throughout. During the summer months this will be a must see.

What a magical place this is... Ideal if you've got children who love fairy tales or just want to visit a magical place. A nice walkable path adorns the surrounding flowers and pond with plenty of picture opportunities for adults. A play area for children and a nicely filled café for a rest at the end. Highly recommend a visit.

A lovely area that is easy to walk around in a morning or afternoon. We enjoy going there on our own and with our grandchildren. It has a good children's play area that is spread out and very natural. They also put on displays during the year that add interest. The annual pass is well worth getting.

I wish I didn't have to leave this place! Luckily, there's a house inside the grounds that you can rent out of you're like me and want to stay there for a while. Maybe one day, I'll take up that amazing offer! The staff are amazing, you can tell they're all very happy where they work and are proud to say they work there! Even the people who volunteer are happy! I just love that they employ people with disabilities there too, I have worked with people who have disabilities and find them to be the most wonderful people, but where I worked with them, it was in a centre, not like a proper job place, so I love this place even more because they really do give people who have disabilities a proper purpose and let them into the working world instead of them being in an activity centre where they can do stuff that kids do, here they get to make jams and chutneys, gardening and all sorts of real life work, instead of being in the same mundane four walls. Well done to furze gardens 👏 you have nailed it! They also get to interact with the public, all ages, which is another brilliant experience for them. Definitely done right! The grounds are extremely well looked after, very clean all round and no weeds - that I know of but then I don't know my gardening haha if there were weeds, they were pretty ones lol! It's literally like being in wonderland! Lovely themes too, to keep the children entertained! And they also get to learn lots too! I cannot recommend his place enough! If heaven is a place on earth, it's here!

Went wakeboarding and then on the aqua park afterwards. It was such good fun. We went on a Friday (free parking) at the end of September so it was pretty quiet. Ben was our one to one tutor on the wakeboarding which I'd never done before but managed to get up first time. Ben was an excellent instructor, very encouraging, friendly and full of positivity and tips on how to improve, I had a smile on my face the whole time. We then had an hour on the aqua park which was a great laugh, smiles all the way. Didn't have any food/drink so can't comment on that , but had a great time and would definitely go back again especially during quieter periods.

I love it here! Staff are all friendly and smiley. Also super useful with tips on the wake park. The wake is generally pretty empty so I can get a good session in. Pricing is very good. Food is decent. The inflatable park is amazing fun and the lifeguards do a good job.

A fantastic day out for the family! Our nephews have been to the water park for the last two summers when they’ve been to visit us in Brighton and absolutely love the day out. The first thing they said when they got off of the water park was “how much is it for an hour?” To see if they could use their pocket money to go again. Brilliant facilities and friendly staff. Would highly recommend a visit.

The facilities and activities are excellent. The lower rating reflects their policy of not allowing you to bring a picnic because they sell food. This is true and I have no issues with the vendors or their offer. What is unacceptable is trying to grab more money after paying for the activity and parking. Many families cannot afford £50 for lunch and drinks so bringing your own food makes sense. Other rival attractions do not have this policy. People were understandably ignoring this. Do they want families who cannot afford to eat out to go hungry?

Great place to go, plenty of seating for those not participating. Places to eat and even a bar. Sell swim shorts (my son forgot his 🙈) and T-shirts and bits. Lots of fun, but not for unfit as my husband found out! 😂

This is such a great day out. You have to get there and hour before your allotted time which seems a little excessive however, there is plenty of seating and also a cafe. You get an hour on the apparatus which is plenty of time. They also do other water sports there. Great for a birthday party or just a day out with children/friends

Great hour of climbing over inflatables. Efficient processing before the activity. Brilliant viewing platform. Great cup of tea and beer with excellent service. Highly recommend as an activity for kids and adults and spectators.

We have just enjoyed a family break at the Lakeside campsite. Perfect for children with a little park close to the tents. We had a fantastic time kayaking and there are many other activities we'd like to try another time. Grounds are beautiful. Facilities for campers could be improved. Showers a dribble with no temperature control or shelf to put glasses etc. Washing up basins are knee height and back breaking. Rubbish and recycling bins are too small for the volume of campers. However, facilities were regularly cleaned. There is a strict 'quiet time' between 10pm and 7am which we liked (although being directly under a flight path broke the peace). Sadly a large group were up one night screaming and shouting until the early morning despite staff telling them to keep it down. There's always one! Staff couldn't have been more apologetic and the next day told the group they'd be asked to leave if it happened again. Would like to visit again to try more activities.

We had a great time doing the raft building activity for a hen do. Our instructor Rachel was amazing, her instructions were clear so we made strong rafts but she also set up great games for us. The site had great facilities for changing and we would love to come back to stay on the campsite.

I went to Avon tyrrell recently with my youth club for a little holiday with them & i stayed in the Avon Lodge & all the facilities were really well equipped & all staff were very supportive & were all really approachable & the surrounding area & all activities i did were a joy to do & to be nearby as-well & i will definitely go back again whenever i can I Strongly & Really recommend Avon Tyrrel to all youth clubs out there to go there for an adventure weekend with them cause of how amazingly fun mine was recenlty with Camp Mohawk

Cafe was barely open. Staff shortage apparently. Phone connected to WiFi very rarely and no normal phone signal. I didn’t mind but my dad didn’t like that showers were mixed sex.

Great location, kids had an amazing time would definitely visit again. Only downside was unisex toilets and showers not very clean, we had our own in the caravan so wasn’t so much of a problem but would not have enjoyed my stay if I had to use the public showers and toilets.

We took a caravan and camped in the lakeside field. Access to the field is down a long narrow, winding unmade road with large bumps and tight corners through trees, not for the faint hearted or larger vans. While our pitch near the lake was level enough, the pitches nearest the house are on a slope. In this field there is no grey water disposal site. Most campers had tents. The site was full and the unisex toilet and shower blocks became dirty quite quickly. One toilet/shower block was not really sufficient or needed cleaning more frequently. Litter was also a bit of a problem on the site. The site has a wide range of outdoor activities you can purchase - these look great. A small playground for kids was well used and there are woods to explore. Location is great for the New Forest and for the sea side (8 miles). The site is directly under the landing patch for Bournemouth airport.

Absolutely stunning site, staff were incredible, kind, friendly, and very helpful. Lots of activities for all the family to do. Definitely recommend.

Lovely day out well set out and helpful people to give information. I loved the little signs dotted about giving relevant information on the plants and wildlife you might see.

Lovely well kept nature reserve! Fantastic to see and hear some many different species of birds!

Such a beautiful and peaceful place to spend sometime in. The paths are all level and great for folk using wheel chairs. There was at least one motorised one hired out while we were there. Toilets on site. The hides are great to view the wildlife and in particular the birds. I saw a heron catch a fish and fly off. Note to take binoculars next time. Also picked loads of blackberries. We then finished off our time with lunch at Hockey's farm shop and farmyard cafe (a 5 minute drive away).

If you like a walk in the woods with stop offs to watch the birds both in the woods and on the lakes, then this place is for you. There are well marked trails which are easy walking. They are also pushchair and wheelchair accessible but there are some kissing gates which could be difficult to negotiate with a chair.

We had a lovely visit to Blashford Lakes Nature Reserve. It was so peaceful and beautifully maintained. Parking was easy, and all the bird hides were clean and well-kept, which made the experience even more enjoyable. A great spot to unwind and connect with nature. I felt so lucky to have spotted a blue flash of a woodpecker before we left.

Amazing place to visit. Free parking and toilets. Hides are great and if your patient you might even spot a kingfisher whoosh past.

Been going here for years and it’s great, but ruined by the rudeness of the regulars in the hides. It’s a known problem as there are new signs up saying to be courteous etc, but it’s not working. They’re always talking at full volume in the hides, swearing constantly even when there are children in the hides - no respect at all, not for people or for the birds.

Lovely place with play facilities, a quiet memorial garden and river walk. Beautiful setting. Only downside, accessibility for mobility scooters very difficult with the type of entrances into the park. Main gate locked.

The recreational grounds have a near by Office, recreational area for kids, You can buy a fishing licence for the day in the office 150 yards away from the river. The place is filled with beauty

Really lovely playground and picnic area. The outdoor paddle area is really lovely and enclosed for safety with non- slip tiles. The play park is really nice and the sandpit is well looked after. Really great variety as well for all ages. Young and old with climbing frames. Good for calisthenic workouts.

Beautiful village, the open area was lovely to walk, play park, river that you could get in and enjoy, fishing, feeding the ducks, BBQ area and sports ground. Great for a picnic if you don't mind being surrounded by ducks. Parking across the road wasn't too expensive.

A great family place. We enjoyed sitting next to the river watching the wildlife pass us by. Further on, children were playing on the shore splashing around having fun. There is a children's play park and also a skateboard park. A lovely cafe is on the grounds from which we enjoyed a cup of tea and cake. There are toilets on site, but due to the smell and condition I'd only use in an emergency . These really need to be cleaned regularly. So to sum this up, the place is great for the day bit on the downside the toilet facilities let it down.

Lovely park with good swings and climbing frames for the younger kids. Picturesque spot by the river. Unfortunately badly let down by the amount of litter scattered around, plastic bottles, paper and discarded cans left by people who should know better and unsupervised young kids chasing and upsetting the ducks in the river even though there are signs saying please respect nature and parents must supervise children at the waters edge. I remember coming here as a child with my family. Such a shame as it used to be such a nice place to sit and enjoy the peaceful scenery.

Lovely park, plenty for the kids to do and a really lovely spot by the river. Watch your snacks though! The ducks are very brave! Toilets were clean and loads of space for a picnic.

Hollands Wood is a great campsite in harmony with the natural countryside. Stay in amongst the trees (there are no marked pitches, but guidelines to respect others), ponies wandering past, just a totally restful place. The facilities are excellent, discretely tucked away in the landscape, toilets and showers, washing up, launderette, even a dog wash. And the staff are just great, always a smile and help if needed. With Brockenhurst just a mile away, this is an idyllic place for a break.

Our new forest camping holiday was lovely. The campsite had wonderful views across the fields full of wild horses in the mornings. The toilets and shower blocks were clean and tidy. I very much enjoyed the fact you didn’t have set pitches and could choose where you positioned yourselves.

Lush staff, great location. Perfect setting. Beautiful wild animals. Great level pitching in woodlands then big open field which catches the sunrise and sun set. No set pitching can set up where you wish just keeping space from others. I'd pitch up between the toilet/shower block and the field and the other side is nearer the main road

It was lovely! Went for my boyfriend’s birthday, just us two and the dog and it was great! The location is perfect and the staff are super friendly! The facilities were really useful, the location was easy to find and set up camp. Lovely waking up to pony’s outside our tent one morning as well!

This is by far the best campsite I have visited. The site was busy but due to the vast size of the site, there was always enough space, enough showers etc. Staff were excellent on arrival and politely did their rounds to ensure the upkeep. My kids loved it as its perfect for bike riding. If you want to feel like you are in a forest camping, you cannot beat this site for that experience. No open fires, but this is common nationally and what I would expect now which is fine. Wild pony's roam so this should be factored. We had one walk into our tent to say hello one morning.

Our first time camping, ever, and what a great place to start. Campsite is well run, facilities cleaned daily. We were greeted by Alfie who was friendly and informative. Proximity of the village is a great bonus. No nuisance from other campers, children and teenagers very well behaved. It was a relaxing first time camping trip and we will be back.

We had a lovely time at this campsite. The toilets and showers were always clean whenever we went in. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. The horses were just roaming round freely which was very exciting. There is a rule not to pitch up within 6 meters of other tents which everyone seemed to tick to which allowed for privacy. We went in August and it was very buy but didn't feel overcrowded due to the rules. It's a lovely family campsite and we always felt safe.

Back of Beyond is an outstanding campsite and easily one of the most enjoyable we’ve stayed at. The setting feels wonderfully secluded and tranquil, making it a perfect escape from the busyness of city life, yet it’s still very accessible and not far from the motorway. The facilities were excellent, spotless showers and toilets, well-kept pitches, and a lovely woodland area that was ideal for evening walks. Monty’s Bar added a great social touch, and the 80s night was a brilliant highlight of our stay. The staff deserve a mention too, welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help. We visited with friends and my girlfriend, and the whole experience was relaxing, fun, and memorable. We’re already looking forward to booking again.

We spent 3 nights at this site and were very disappointed with the whole experience as we thought we were going to a lovely welcoming site however it turned out to be the complete opposite . I can only describe it as feeling like you’re staying in a detention centre with all the rules & regulations. We were told on arrival if your dogs bark in the bar you have to leave immediately and calm them down before you return, as we couldn’t guarantee that our dogs wouldn’t bark [I think most dogs bark] we didn’t bother with the bar and it’s only open between 4pm - 8pm so don’t think we were missing much. The shop sells very little and what it does sell is ridiculously overpriced such as a 4 pack of ICELAND quarter pounders which they are re selling at £4.50? The cheapest wine was £12 which resembled a cheap watered down wine you could get out of a supermarket for £3. There is nowhere to walk to from the site unless you want to walk along a busy dual carriageway. The pitch we were on had weeds growing up through the table and chairs on the pitch as well as the grass being long and covered in bald patches and weeds. The park gives the impression if you are not a regular at this site then you’re not welcome, I can honestly say I’ve never been to such an unfriendly place and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. We’ve been going to sites up and down the UK for many years and have luckily never came across one like this before. Thank you for your reply. For the record our 3 dogs are sociable and well behaved and didn’t cause any problems during our stay. We didn’t go to your bar because we didn’t feel welcome after the comment about the dogs, I don’t need guidance on how to manage my dogs in a public place but I can’t guarantee that they won’t bark if other dogs are barking. You clearly don’t like constructive feedback as your response appears to be the same to all negative reviews. However, I notice you haven’t commented on the state of our pitch!

This was our second visit and cant fault this campsite. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Has off site meal vans visiting every night. Lovely little bar which opens at 4pm. Our pitch was lovely, big and right by bar/reception area so perfect for us. Its doggy heaven and all on the park are on leads. Booked to come again later this year which will be coming again next year.

We decided to book here from a friend’s recommendation. Got to say it has been exceptional. Very helpful & friendly staff. Loverly site/pitches for all. Very clean service areas (wash/shower areas). Good walks, a “natural” pitch & putt golf course, a couple of small nature ponds, a good bar and local evening food vans which come onto site (excellent quality from them too). And all of the visiting guests are friendly too which is due to the sites ambience. A very relaxed stay. We’ll definitely recommend and return.

Beautiful and calm location, staff were attentive and friendly and the on site pub was reasonably priced. We also enjoyed the nightly food vans, wish the baked potatoes was more often than once. The fish and chip van was disappointing as the chips were cooked from frozen and scampi was over cooked. Aside from the chip van we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and as promised the site was silent after 10pm which we were very grateful for as we were seeking a relaxing break.

Lovely campsite, great bar, clean facilities, only problem for us was so dog friendly you felt overwhelmed by the amount of dogs & their noise. One man let his dog poo on the end of our pitch instead of using the provided dog exercise areas. Not the dogs fault, but disgusting behaviour. Staff are fantastic here though and well worth a visit. We’ll be back I’m sure.

Really loved staying at this campsite. There's a lovely bar and different food vans daily. Perfect woodland walks for the dog (and us) right on the doorstep, and a quiet site for over 18's only. I look forward to our return, and my pup looks forward to his next doggy ice cream!

Very noisy at weekends, mostly due to large groups being allowed and very minimal warden presence. No control over large groups who were drinking and making lots of noise well after 10 pm and letting their kids ride electric bikes around the site at high speed and over people's pitches. Showers are fixed temperature (very hot). The shower block is not large enough for the number of guests. Large, self-contained pitches are good and have privacy hedging

This was our first stay at the campsite. We had a friend staying and they made sure they put us basically opposite which was very accommodating. Tent pitch sizes are great. We had electric hookup. Water and grey waste for our pitch. Everything is kept to a high standard including the fantastic showers, toilets, washing up area and laundry room. Little breakfast coffee shop was also great on site. Family loved the little park and the woodland walk. So well maintained and respected by all. No rubbish laying around or anything. Will definitely return here and highly recommend for all family sizes/couples. I believe by no commercial vehicles they mean sign writing as we use my personal panel van (not sign written) for all our camping gear and had no issues. WiFi didn’t reach us but didn’t affect the holiday. I also noticed everything was made accessible for any and all disabilities so that’s a plus for whom ever needs to know!

Good location nice woodland walks great photo opportunity in blossom tunnel adequately sized well maintained pitches and close electric points. Children's play area is just enough to keep little minds busy over a short break. Constructive improvement comments, family/disabled wash room the shower is too hot and there's no hand drier? Single shower cubicles are a touch too small and need more hooks. Disappointed to be informed No commercial vehicles and to find vans (commercial not camper) everywhere, we struggled to pack everything into the car when we have a van we could easily travel in.

Great site, we stayed for 5 nights in our tourer. Generously sized grass pitch (take chocks as slightly sloping), very very clean, facilities good although showers could do with some more hooks and shelves for shampoo etc. Wifi Good. Phone service (EE) good. Great location for exploring. Will definitely be going back

Just got back today had a brilliant time the site is superb very friendly and very well kept site the grounds are great for walks. there's a wooded walk and a walk upto three ponds showers and toilets are excellent well maintained and clean Theres a Thai restaurant on site and a young woman who severs coffee in the mornings is brilliant. The staff are very friendly we will definitely be going back

Very clean and well maintained site with everything you need. Nice pub about a mile down the road too. Great communication from the owner prior to our arrival.

Peaceful campsite, plenty of room on each pitch, grass or hard standing. Electric hook up available. Nice shower block.

Lovely peaceful site. Friendly staff and spotless spacious warm facilities. Just be aware that unless you have transport it's a good hours walk into Verwood and some parts of very busy country roads have no pavement or verges with one part at a bridge is really unnerving. There is a walk through housing estates which we did on the way back but it's even longer. Taxi's are nigh on impossible to get as they don't like to come up to the camp. We have a motorhome and sometimes it's not practical to take it out to pop to the shops or as was our case visit family. Other than that everything else was perfect.

Well looked after campsite. Toilet block and showers are clean and all work well. Didn't have to queue at any point. Small playground for younger children. Games room with pool table, games, books etc. Shop has very limited supplies. Not much in walking distance. Very busy road which can be extremely noisy when you are trying to go to sleep. Staff were very friendly. A pleasant stay. Thank you.

Located on the outskirts of Verwood with the New Forest close by. The site is well maintained and the staff are welcoming and friendly. There is a woodland walk accessible from the campsite, and a golf course opposite. There are many places to visit within the area for all the family. Bournemouth and Poole with sandy beaches are 25 minutes drive. There is a good pub 5 minutes walk from the site selling good beer and food. Verwood town is 2 mins drive or 25 minute walk via the golf course.

Me and my wife took our four year old and two year old kids and Spent three days two nights here. We were on a jumbo pitch without electric in our massive eight man tent, there was plenty of room and we were far enough away from others to not have to worry too much about kids making noise early in the morning. The Staff were very friendly and helpful. Really good amenities clean and tidy shower/toilet block. Well organised. The play park was clean tidy and well kept as was the rest of the site. The games room with the air hockey and pool tables as well as the skittles alley were a nice touch and the kids enjoyed that. The site is well located. With a super market and a few pubs within a few miles aswell as theme parks and attractions. All in all a very pleasant experience especially for our kids first time camping.

We have just returned from a lovely 5 night stay at this excellent site. From the moment we arrived we knew it was a good choice. The staff are all friendly, helpful and welcoming . Pitches and facilities are good and the surrounding area is beautiful. Our departure was delayed due to a problem. The staff could not have been more kind,caring and helpful. They found a pitch for us and suggested a few local places to ring for help. Within a few hours we were sorted and arrived home safely later that day. Many thanks to all the staff and to Dan , a local mobile caravan engineer ,who was brilliant too.

We had one night's stay here and loved it. Everything from the friendly welcome, to checking that we had a nice stay. The staff and facilities are great, a decent amount of hot shower water was definitely a winner, bests the usual dribble you get at other sites. The kids playground was fine but the weather didn't allow much more that a fleeting go. One winner was definitely the games room, it pool, air hockey, foosball, books, drawing paper etc. We stayed in a motorhome on a hard stand near but there is also tent pitches too. All in all I would recommend.

Excellent well kept site. All staff very friendly

I found Godshill Inclosure by accident and so glad I did. It's a beautiful spot for a picnic. There are also some lovely walks to be had in the woods. Parking is easy. Entrance and parking are free. Dogs should be kept under control, ideally on a lead as there are New Forest ponies around. The ground is fairly even if you have mobility issues. But please note there are no public toilets. Just remember not to pet or feed the ponies and donkeys that roam freely in the New Forest

Recently found amazing place to spend a few hours with or without pets Walks for all strengths

Lovely location, forest walks are beautiful and also pram friendly. Grassy area next to the car park is spoiled by lazy dog walkers not cleaning up after their pets!

We enjoyed a lovely walk around here, open grass walks and quiet shady woodland tracks, with plenty of free parking. Only negative was a fallen tree across a track, very hard to get underneath or over or around, but we saw a ranger and reported it so hopefully it will be dealt with soon. Can recommend a visit to the Horse and Groom in Wood Green afterwards. Plenty of ponies and donkeys share this beautiful place. Perfect for walkers, cyclists and riders. Plan to return in autumn.

Great place to park for walks through the woodland path or across the sandy tracks with views across the valley towards Roger Penny way. Well provisioned with a flat area for a picnic or a cup of tea with some opportunities for shade.

This is a beautiful area whether walking the dogs or just a meander through this part of the new forest. Definitely worth a vist

Wonderful place for a beautiful peaceful walk. Winter can be a bit bleak but in Spring & Summer it is a beautifully visual and aromatic stroll😍👌 Excellent for dog walking

An essential green space for the local community! Seems to be well maintained. The Sway Carnival event held here every year is really great!

Nice place to visit. In a quiet-ish area

Absolutely beautiful 😍 a credit to the area

The grandchildren had a great time here burning off their energy. It is an ideal facility as it can be many things to many people for many different uses. Lucky locals to have it nearby.

Beautiful woods and walks went there with the dog and she enjoyed it no end .. 1 very tired dog

Love this field for my 2 dogs and loves the walk path all the way round as it keeps your boots to a clean spec

Very large,clean and tidy open space. Ideal for football,sports and pets. Swings and playground for kids,and adult fitness apperatus

Lovely park for the youngsters. A zip wire and a few larger frames or the older ones Lovely football pitch.

Great place to take the kids or just sit out on the green

I called the council about the trampoline. They are waiting on parts, they got the parts they though they needed but the clips had changed, now they're waiting on new clips.

Lovely little park but needs upgrading- the wood is slippery!

Trampoline has been fenced off for months

Lovely park for the kids to play
