If you’re asking the question, is a New Forest hen do a good idea? The answer is, Wow, Where do I start! For starters, The New Forest is a world famous UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is a fantastic feature on it’s own, but it also hold the title of a AONB (Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.) These two accolades definitely puts two ticks in the potential hen do destination box that few other destinations can boast. This stunning and historic area is located in the South West of Hampshire close to the Dorset border and has been a significant area throughout history, from the bronze age right through to recent times and was even declared to be a ‘Royal Forest’ by William the conqueror (of Battle of Hastings fame) and was even mentioned in the famous Doomsday book.
The New Forest is simply stunning and would make a wonderful backdrop to your hen do. Its landscape, a mixture of quaint market towns, ancient forests, open common ground, picnic spaces and country pubs. The famous new forest ponies are a beautiful throw back to a more ‘tech less age’ and depending on the season you may also be lucky enough to see pigs and their piglets wandering the forest devouring the freshly fallen acorns. Interesting fact, the pigs are let out to eat the acorns as they’re poisonous to the ponies! Cows are also regularly found grazing the meadow grass, which is great news if you’re a wildlife fan. In addition, there is a Wildlife Park a short drive from Lyndhurst where you can find a whole range of animals seldom seen including Owls, Otters and even Scottish Wildcats. A great option for your New Forest hen do.
There are a number of amazing market towns and villages in and around this amazing landscape both in the forest and nearby that are well worth a visit. Some of the notable areas you may wish to explore include Brockenhurst, Burley, Lyndhurst and Fordingbridge. In each of these villages you’ll find classic bric-a-brac shops, boutiques, bars and restaurants offering food and drinks and even afternoon tea. A notable shoutout also goes out to Beaulieu, which is home to the famous National Motoring Museum. Near Beaulieu you’ll also find The Lime Wood, a superb restaurant owned by Michelin Star winning chefs Angela Hartnett and Luke Holder. Also Nearby is the Museum village of Bucklers hard, a 18 th Century shipbuilding village who used to build ships for Nelsons Fleet.
Overall, The New Forest is a fantastic place to enjoy your hen do celebration whether you want to explore the many villages or you simply want to enjoy your immediate surroundings within the accommodation and the local area in the company of your best friends and family.
