The New Forest National Park lies at the heart of this tour with its vast forests, heaths  and pastureland where deer, ponies, and pigs have the right to roam. Tucked into the peaceful landscape are pretty villages and charming estuaries where maritime history abounds.  And just off the coast lies the delightfully English, Isle of Wight.

Using awesome gravel tracks through the forest and disused railway lines, much of this tour is free of traffic and leaves plenty of time to explore. Discover: forest life and villages at Burley, Brockenhurst and Beaulieu with its fine estate and Motor Museum, maritime delights at Buckler’s Hard  and Lymington,  the Isle of Wight experience and the charms of Yarmouth where your ferry arrives. We hope you will return !
