The local area
If you want a car free break, Brockenhurst is one of the best places to stay in the New Forest. It has a railway station in the heart of the village and branch line to the Georgian marine town of Lymington. London is just a 90 minute trip – perfect for a bolt hole weekend away.
Brockenhurst is in the centre of the New Forest. It’s a large, traditional English village displaying thatched cottages, quaint little lanes and gorgeous chocolate box picture perfect scenery. It’s a hotspot for visitors and locals to gather. It’s one of the largest villages in the area, yet its managed to preserve its countryside appeal and homely charm without the trappings of commercialism. The vibe in the village is a gentle pace of life akin to how a generation lived fifty years ago. There’s no huge superstore, instead you will find a large selection of shops selling everything you’ll need for a holiday including grocer, butcher, baker, village post office and chemist as well as an array of interesting shops selling beautiful gifts, books and hobby crafts.
The most famous residents of the village are the free roaming New Forest ponies, cattle and donkeys. They are often seen around the village, at garden gates and in the high street peeping in to the shops in the hope of a carrot or two. Visitors love the novelty of shopping alongside four legged friends.
There are lots of great photo opportunities in and around the village. Head to the ford, known as ‘The Watersplash’ at the bottom of the high street. You’ll often come across ponies and donkeys stopping off for a drink on their way to graze on the open forest which surrounds the village.
During warmer months’ visitors can head to a pretty picnic spot at Balmer Lawn. There’s lots of grass to lay out on as well as a shingle beach with shallow water overlooking the Lymington River – a great family spot!
It’s worth taking a look at the oldest church in the New Forest – St. Nicholas Parish Church which dates back to AD737. The church yard is just as fascinating. You’ll see an enormous Yew Tree to the left of the south entrance porch, that’s estimated to be over 1,000 years old. This is also a great spot to see a thick carpet of bluebells in the spring. Not far from the high street is the village hall which has a busy calendar of events throughout the year for locals and visitors to enjoy.
If you fancy some horseback riding, Brockenhurst Riding Stables based at the New Forest Activity Centre just outside the village have a great reputation. To hire bikes pop into Cyclexperience at the railway station, they have a large choice of bikes, electric bikes, tandems, tag-a-longs and children’s seats. There are lots of trails, routes and tracks from the village for bikes rides or walkers wanting anything from a short stroll to a daylong hike out in to the forest – pack a picnic and off you go.
Brockenhurst also has a wonderful collection of coffee shops and cafes. Try Rosie Lea's Tea House & Bakery and The Buttery. There are super friendly pubs and restaurant’s serving great food, our favourites include The Snakecatcher, The Foresters Arms, Bistro 26 and a great Indian restaurant called Dynasty. There’s also a good fish and chip shop and Chinese take away.
