Active Days Out

Embrace the Outdoors with Curated Adventures and Sporting Pursuits

The New Forest’s expansive landscapes and fresh coastal air provide the perfect backdrop for active days filled with discovery and wellbeing. 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.
