Located just a few miles south of Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst is a charming village ideal for leisurely strolls, picnics, and sightseeing. There are a variety of shops, tearooms, pubs, and restaurants in the village that are worth visiting. There are also waggon and horse-drawn forest tours, as well as a variety of forest walks for visitors of all ages and abilities. On the first Monday in August, the town holds a village festival. Brockenhurst is only a few miles from the coast and a short walk from the forest’s heart. Nearby Cadnam provides a great opportunity for families to enjoy fresh air and open spaces, while a short drive from Lyndhurst village centre reveals extensive grasslands kept short by commoners’ stock—the ponies, donkeys and cattle that can be seen throughout the area.
