Hurst Castle, located at the end of a shingle spit near Lymington in the New Forest, is a hidden gem with a rich history. Built as a defense fortress by Henry VIII, it features impressive 38-ton guns and offers visitors an opportunity to explore its military past. Accessible via a scenic walk from Milford-on-Sea or a passenger ferry from Keyhaven, the castle also houses a lighthouse exhibition and cafe.
Hurst Castle is a great place to visit.
My husband and I took the kids and we all had such a lovely day.
We parked up at keyhaven and took the ferry which was great fun.
The castle has so much to see and stunning views of the needles/Isle of Wight and the fabulous lighthouse.
Staff were friendly and sociable.
We stopped for lunch in the castle and sat at one of the benches provided.
After we saw everything at the castle, we took a walk to the lighthouse and put our feet in the lovely clear water which the kids loved.
We have all said that it is one of the best places we've visited so far and already want to plan a future trip back here.
We are members of the English heritage and we got in for free, we only paid for the ferry crossing which was pretty good price wise.
All in all a great cheap family day out with lots to see and admire.

Really enjoyed it here, a mix of the old and the more modern, great history. We caught the little ferry boat over which was lovely, we were going to go back the same way but decided to walk back along the spit, was about 2 miles out in the open and shingle all the way, was very windy on the way back but a nice walk none the less. It's a bit of a gem and not over priced, definitely worth reading all the signs to learn about the history and the changes the castle went through.
I enjoyed my visit immensely. A great place to bring children to run around, although I suggest you use the ferry with the little ones as its a 2 mile walk from the carpark. Completely dog friendly I brought mine. He enjoyed sniffing around the rooms but was impatient to move on. So I photographed the information panels for later. There's a very small cafe and the toilets are open to the elements.
Hurst Castle is an absolute gem. The walk from the car park to the castle is about 2 miles with lovely views of the Needles. You can get the ferry from Keyhaven to save on the walk. Once inside the castle, there’s so much to explore and the exhibitions are well presented and bring the stories of the castle to life.
The views from the castle walls are breathtaking and you can see across to the Isle of Wight and watch the boats sail by.
I’d highly recommend bringing a picnic and spending a few hours wandering, learning, and soaking up the atmosphere. A brilliant day out for families, history lovers, and anyone who enjoys a walk.
We took the ferry across and then spent about 3 hours wandering round. Lots of different bits to see but the highlight are the views over to the Isle of White and the lighthouse.
There is a little cafe out front and some rustic toilets inside. If you intend on being there over lunch I’d suggest bringing lunch with you.
Great morning out looking around this castle.
Got the ferry there snd back which was great fun.
Lovely views from the top of the castle overlooking isle of wight and beyond.
Lot's of information given as you walk around.
Great place to explore, by foot over shingle spit or by little boat. Lots of rooms to explore and learn history of the building, surrounding area and lighthouses in general. We had great time.
This Castle has a lot to offer. Its history and role during various wars is well explained at various points inside the castle. There are many sections accessible only through narrow stairs. On an upper level there are lovely views across to Hust Beach and Keyhaven. In the other direction there is a clear view of the Isle of Wight.

Parks
Moors Valley Country Park & Forest is a sprawling park and woodland offering an array of activities for all ages. Families can enjoy wooden play structures like the Bewilderness climb and Crocodile Crossing, while thrill-seekers can tackle the Go Ape Tree Top Challenge. The park also features dedicated dog areas with refreshment stations, making it perfect for furry friends.
I hadn't visited in ages and I'll make sure I don't leave it too long before coming back. The amazing weather helped of course. Good to see they're reinvesting into the place with added installations, additional seating, and a refreshment stand on the play trail. Kids were happy and there are far worse surroundings. The woodland is beautiful. We parked offside and walked in which paid for the ice creams!
Tony C — Google review
Such a fabulous place for young children! Yes the parking charge is high but there is no entrance fee so it seemed good value to us, the one mile play trail of ten wooden structures to climb and explore dotted around the forest was the perfect length. Lovely park area near the main playground to bring a picnic etc. We didn't go on the train (costs extra) as there was more than enough to do without that.
Parking crazy expensive. I fully understand this is put towards maintaining the lovely area but I would prefer to pay a one off fee then relax knowing we aren't being charged by the minute/the longer we stay the more it costs.
We stayed for less than two hours, for a short walk around to break up a long journey and see if the go ape looked like something we could do with our kids on another visit or use our bikes in the area.
It cost us over £12 for the parking fee!
We won't be returning here unless we park outside if the area and walk/ride in.
Best day . It's so much to do. Kids were super excited all day. Staff super friendly, helpful. All facilities and area well looked after. Definitely worth it
Close drove to Southampton. Very big park with many free playgrounds and trails and few ££ activities. Big parking, toilets, cafes at the start. Bike rental available. No bins on whole trail only at the start so better buy cofee/ice creams and slushies on your way back. Toilets only at the start and close at 5.30.
This place is amazing ! I barely review much but what a place I was roaming around for hours,amazing views if you hike about abit there’s bike hire there go ape adventure trials with mini landrovers for kids 2 mini steam trains, cafes dotted about water stations and to top it off strangers wishing you good morning and good afternoon as you pass them by! Loved it here
Excuse my breathing I have copd
The park itself has a lovely range of activities walks with the wooden play activities, the playground, the train, Go ape has several different activities also. I have younger children who prefer the nets and while this can be busy as we went recently where there was a party of 30 usually it’s not quite that busy. The staff at the nets are very friendly. There are toilets, cafe although we’ve never eaten there we bring food and there is a great ice-cream kiosk too. I’d say too much too do in a day. The car park is however quite pricy. A few hours was £14 which when you’ve paid £50 for the nets feels a lot! But if you’re coming gotta walk that’s all your going to pay.
In my opinion the parking charges are a bit high. Overall a good place where you can spend the whole day walking around and let kids play in different playgrounds(free of charge). Of course there are some paid attractions like tree top nets , zip lines , mini golf , mini range rover trail and a mini steam train.

Highcliffe Castle, a Gothic revival mansion built in the 1830s, showcases restored exteriors and offers visitors a tearoom and gardens to explore. The Grade listed cliff top mansion is an excellent example of Romantic and Picturesque architecture from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Despite its relatively young age, the castle's medieval French masonry gives it an older appearance, complemented by its Gothic revival features and ancient stained glass.
Very beautiful, big and detailed castle. Very similar to a museum but just about the castle. Was very fascinating and the volunteers were lovely. They knew what they were talking about and were so welcoming. Went to get a carer and disabled ticket due to 1 member of our party having autism and surprisingly no questions for proof were asked. They understood that not all disabilities are visible and we really appreciated this. Many rooms were interactive too which was amazing and made it more engaging. We were able to trace drawings, try on clothes they would have worn back in the day, make puzzles, look through kaleidoscopes and more! Perfect for all ages. Took lovely pictures too. Thank you for a lovely time.

Highcliffe was brilliant, what a fantastic place to go! Every bit of it took my breath away, I couldn’t stop saying wow look at that. The zig zag to the beach was easy for anyone to use, the beach was amazing. When I went it was hot and sunny. No benches to sit on only big rocks or the beach. Can’t wait to go again and walk to the light house!!!
Got in at 1.15pm, and inside of castle tour was at 1.30pm. For only £3 extra was able to go into rooms not available to the public normally and get a really good storytelling volunteer guide named Sue. Very interesting and engaging. Exploring after that the grounds and eating cake were a plus. Love how its dog friendly for the cafe and their selection of food. Quite a historic place, very happy to have randomly found it on the map and making a detour.
Highcliffe Castle was built between 1831 and 1836 by Lord Stuart de Rothesay. Vast quantities of medieval French masonry was shipped across the channel and used in its construction, making it appear older than it actually is. Kings, Queens and the rich and famous have all stayed here over the years. The castle interior was destroyed by fire in the 60s but grants from Heritage and Lottery funding have been used in its restoration. It's a truly beautiful building with so much history! There's a lovely walk down to Highcliffe Beach as well.
Highcliffe Castle is a beautifully restored building located just back from the seafront on the Dorset Coast. Well worth a visit. Plenty of open space for children and dogs to run about. There are tours inside the house if you wish to pay for a ticket and explore the rooms. There is a lovely café/restaurant on site with outdoor and indoor seating. Very clean well maintained toilets too. I should imagine it can get very busy at peak times, although there is a good amount of parking space. A short walk to the nearby beach is available. Usually very quiet, and dog friendly as it is away from nearby Mudeford and Christchurch.
Looks magnificent on the outside but a bit disappointing on the inside in my opinion. Has been restored post 2 fires in the 60's but not quite back to its former glory, I don't mind the brick wall etc.but the modern style staircase just doesn't suit the style.
Amazing! Before you start your journey you can watch a very short informational video. Only issue I had was there was no reset for the video. Very friendly and helpful staff!
Really impressive castle right next to the beach. I didn’t have the opportunity to go inside but it is free to walk all around the castle. You can have a lovely walk around the garden and access the cafe + castle shop at the rear of the castle.
The castle is in walking distance of the beach where you can either take the stairs or an accessible route - the “zig-zag path” which is really convenient if you don’t want to tire yourself out by taking the stairs!
There is parking on site.

Lepe Country Park is a historical and picturesque destination offering various activities for visitors. The park features remnants of the Mulberry Harbours from the D-Day landings, providing a glimpse into its wartime significance. Additionally, it holds historical connections to Queen Victoria's first view of the Isle of Wight and being one of the last spots where the Titanic was seen from mainland Britain.
My friend and I took the dogs to Lepe on a week day and although it was the Easter holidays it wasn't overly busy which was nice. There's lots of parking and we parked in the top car park where there is a lovely green area for picnics and far reaching views. .
We walked down past the cafe to the beach and turned to the left and had a lovely walk along the beach, down past the nature reserve. It's a lovely mixture of beach and countryside and of course the New Forest is just down the road for more lovely walks.
This is a hidden gem of a place, perfect for families. Parking was £8, there is an adventure play area for kids and there is a block of clean toilets just behind the cafe.

Great place to park up and have a beach walk or picnic. Fantastic children's play area and cafe. Interesting d day info further along the beach
This place makes for a great day out, with a vast beach, views stretching over to the IOW and a modern cafe available to suit most tastes it’s a great spot to relax.
An easy car park makes access a breeze.
Lovely circular walk through the countryside and along the coast. Really easy 2hr walk.
Only downside with dogs is there's a lot of barbed wire fences, my Springer Spaniel got a cut on her back, luckily nothing serious.
This is a lovely park along the Solent. There is the beach (shingle), a sensory garden, paths through the woods, and a café (very clean, small shop). There is a car park (administered by Hampshire County Council = expensive)
Really nice place to spend the day! You have a few little beaches, multiple parks, a cafe and somewhere to get ice creams and a good amount of fields to set up! Highly recommend for the family
We would have given more than 5 stars if we could. The first thing we noticed was how clean it was, no litter anywhere. We visited the cafe and found the food to be of good quality and very reasonably priced, it is also dog friendly.
Did, the Lepe loop walk which was lovely. Coastal, fields and woods. Had a lunch on the beech and then decided to go other direction to do "Dunkirk" walk. Amazed to find out what went from there to France as part of D day landing.
Highly recommend both walks.

Lovely small museum about the founding of the 900 year old New Forest and key components of its history and life, such as Roman and World War II involvement, Alice in Wonderland connections, a small cob house replica, and why there are roaming horses (to name a few of the topics).
Museum is free though donations are very appreciated.
They also have a nice gift shop and cafe on site.
Toilets adequate and free.
Car park immediately next to it is from the city and costs a small fee.
I made a short stop in this small town on my way north, and visited the Heritage Centre. There was not that much to see, although the few displays were interesting enough. I guess the centre is more useful as an information centre than a museum.
Great museum, donations welcome.
Set within the carpark.
Cafe is relaxing with music in the background.
Plenty of cakes for Gluten free diets and something for vegans.
Both cakes In photos are gluten and dairy free. Top marks for the caramel one.
Lots of choices for food and drinks.
Prices are average for the area.
A small museum depicting life in The New Forest for its residents. The museum is free with a card point asking for a voluntary donation.
There’s a cafe & shop within the centre. Doesn’t take long to go around the exhibits but is a nice way to see forest life.
This is a centre with a cafe, gift shop and a small museum about the New Forest. It's really interesting and explain a lot about the past and present of the forest. It's quite small but you can easily spend 30 minutes inside. Definitely worth the visit if you're in the village.
Excellent visitor centre for those wishing to find out more about the New Forest and its history. Upstairs is a long tapestry created by local people showing key events.
Lovely food great staff, had a lovely staff member called belle looking after us all. Great food, lovely setting. Thank you.

I've moved to the area not long ago and I was anxious to try and find a new studio. But Matt's been great to work with since i found him! He's as good as anyone ive ever worked with, and value for money is probably THE BEST. He's a magician and will get the best out of your ideas!
Daniel E — Google review
Best value for money around sotton, clean and neat, friendly staff, nice atmosphere, definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a rehearsal venue or a recording studio 🎙️ 🥁 🎸
I absolutely enjoyed the 2.5 hours of session with Matt. I came to the studio for the first time in my life and Matt explained everything about the music. I have never experienced such amazing person who can professionally handle all the voice recordings and editing.
I will definitely come back soon!
100% recommend this place😎
I was given a voucher experience day at the studio and having had a bit of experience in studios decided to add to the voucher and booked an afternoon no problem. Matt was very helpful and I was impressed by the set up they have there. Seems to be top of the range equipment for a very fair price. Came away very satisfied with what we achieved in the 3.5 hour session. I would recommend this studio to beginners and professionals alike.
Highly recommend.
As an initially very nervous amateur I've been here twice now, it's a relaxed atmosphere and Matt talks you right through the process if you want or will follow your plan for the day. He has a great set up that maximises efficiency in the space he has - lots of difference options available. He is very patient and accommodating when it comes to recording and finishing each track to perfection. I've had an amazing experience both times.
His skills go far beyond just looking after us amateurs as well, just ask!
Great value rehearsal room with lots of space, useful if you have a large band.
Critically for me the room has an acoustic drum kit. It's pretty battered but sounds decent enough with a bit of tuning and Moon Gel. I can get away with just bringing cymbals, snare and kick pedal. But these are available, although very basic, so ok if you are a beginner.
Sound system seems ok, band mates seem happy enough to plug in a mic or two. They bring their own amplifiers for their guitars, so I'm not sure whether you can turn up without one or not.
I would highly recommend the space, the owner is very friendly and always cheerful.
Had the best birthday party for my 9 year old and her friends. Matt made them all feel at ease, let them take things at their own pace and build up their confidence. Gave encouragement and that meant they all just had the best time ever! Even put up a birthday banner for her in the function room, we could play our music and have a birthday tea. Such a good idea for a birthday party, an experience she will never forget. And having the track to listen and remember it all is priceless! Thank you ☺️
Been a while since I've been in a music rehearsal room and I was not disappointed at untapped.
With 2 buildings on the same patch, one housing the recording studio and booths with a addition room for rehearsal within a modern unit housing two more rehearsal spaces. Fully sound proofed with mics, preamp and standsa Drum kit and guitar amps for low cost rental and tea and coffee facilities, a fridge for 'jamming' beers and sofas for comfort. Highly recommended for band practices and studio recording sessions.
