Lyndhurst Park Hotel and Restuarant

Lyndhurst Park Hotel is the ideal touring base from which to explore the beautiful New Forest and the surrounding areas whatever time of year.

The New Forest is 90,000 acres of exceptional woodland - home to its famous ponies, five varieties of deer and many other wild animals and birds. Twice a year the local pigs are let loose amongst the forest to eat acorns to stop the ponies over indulging and becoming ill with colic. Almost two thirds of the New Forest is open to visitors, who can either amble through the heathland and streams, follow mapped-out walks or enjoy horse riding and pony treks. Tucked away throughout the forest are picturesque villages with traditional churches, pubs and quaint shops.

A memorable day out can be experienced at the famous National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, or at Bucklers Hard, which includes the Maritime Museum. Broadlands, the home of the late Lord Louis Mountbatten, is a short drive away.

Southampton, with its historical shipping connections - and more recently, excellent shopping facilities - is less than 20 minutes drive, as is the lively coastal resort of Bournemouth. For those more active, there's an all weather tennis court at Lyndhurst Park, excellent sailing facilities are available at nearby Lymington, while Paultons Park, on the way to Romsey, is a fun place for the children. With so many attractions, it's easy to see why a visit to the New Forest is an enchanting experience.
