Dog-Friendly Holidays in the New Forest
While it has only been a national park since 2005, The New Forest was proclaimed 'Royal Forest' by William The Conqueror and features in the Domesday book. Set in Hampshire, the ancient 556 square kilometres has some of the last remaining untouched pasture land in the South East of England.
Along the 225 kilometres of walking tracks, you’ll find native wild ponies and deer, impressive woodland and striking glades. There are also salt marshes, dunes, heathland and over 40 miles of pristine coastline, stretching all the way from Totton to Barton-on-sea.
Dogs (and humans) can enjoy a paddle around Goatee Beach overlooking Southampton docks and both Barton-on-sea and Milford-on-sea beaches are dog-friendly year-round. Milford also boasts the amazingly preserved Hurst Castle as well as spectacular views of The Isle of Wight.
For rainy days, the New Forest is full of fascinating indoor, dog-friendly activities. The New Forest Heritage Centre is an amazing way to connect with the local culture and has both a museum and gallery space. If you and your pal aren't scared, The New Forest Reptile Centre also welcomes canine companions!
