Whether you prefer a leisurely round of golf, invigorating foraging walks, or exhilarating riding lessons, our curated collection of outdoor experiences invites you to engage with the region’s natural beauty in a way that suits your pace and passion.
Golf in the New Forest
Golfers are well catered for with several excellent courses nearby. Lymington Golf Centre offers a relaxed and welcoming setting ideal for casual play, while New Forest Golf Club provides a traditional course framed by heathland scenery. For those seeking a more challenging round, Barton on Sea Golf Club offers extensive coastal fairways and championship-level play, all within easy reach of the hotel.
Foraging & Guided Nature Experiences
For a deeper connection to the land, guided foraging walks offer insight into the forest’s seasonal rhythms. Wild Food UK and Go Foraging both run expert-led courses in the New Forest, focusing on identifying edible plants and fungi while encouraging a mindful and sustainable approach to the landscape.
Riding & Stables
Horse riding remains one of the most atmospheric ways to explore the New Forest. Coombe Stables in Sway offers lessons, forest hacks, and family-friendly activities, while Brockenhurst Riding Stables provides relaxed trail rides and pony care experiences in the heart of the forest.
Archery, Kayaking & Canoeing
For those looking to try something different, archery sessions in the forest offer a calm but focused challenge, while kayaking and canoeing provide a peaceful way to explore rivers and coastal waters. New Forest Activities offers a range of paddling and archery experiences suitable for individuals, families, and groups.
Cycling & Bike Hire
Cycling is one of the easiest ways to experience the scale and variety of the New Forest. Bike hire is available in Beaulieu, offering access to well-maintained routes that pass through woodland, open heathland, and forest villages, making it an enjoyable and flexible way to explore at your own pace.
