New Forest National Park

Declared a royal forest by William the Conqueror and established as a National Park in 2005, New Forest National Park spans sprawling moorland and rugged woodland. The park is home to thousands of native New Forest ponies, as well as deer, donkeys, and cattle, which roam freely among the natural landscape. Visitors can explore the area via family-friendly biking, hiking, and horseback riding trails, while nearby museums and villages offer additional insights into the region’s rich history and culture.
