Plan Your Visit

Welcome to Dear New Forest

The New Forest is a timeless landscape of ancient woodland, open heath, and winding trails, nestled in the south of England. Once a royal hunting ground, it’s now a National Park where ponies roam free, deer dart through the trees, and quiet villages offer a warm welcome. Whether you come to walk, wander, or simply breathe it all in, the New Forest invites you to slow down and connect with nature.

This is my little corner of the internet to share the places, trails, and moments I love most about the New Forest. From peaceful walks and wildlife encounters to cozy pubs and scenic spots — everything here is personally curated with a deep love for this beautiful place.
