Picturesque New Forest Village, with everything from the famous witchy shops, to cream teas and pub lunches. Ponies and cattle wander the streets, and you can hire bikes to cycle in the Forest. Lots of lovely walks from the village.

Choice of beaches - sandy with chance of sharks teeth fossils on the Barton beach, and pebbles and sand on the Highcliffe beach. Closest to Ringwood and Highcliffe doesn't get too crowded. Lots of eateries in the village and on cliff top.
