Langford Farm

Langford Farm has a countryside setting yet it’s also close to the bright lights of Southampton (20 minutes’ drive), where you can discover nautical-themed displays at the interactive SeaCity Museum and take care of any rainy days with ten-pin bowling and an indoor swimming pool. Kids should surely have a great time staying at Langford too, as it’s close to Paultons Park, Home of Peppa Pig World (10 minutes) for cartoon-themed amusement rides, or the petting zoo and soft-play areas at Longdown Activity Farm (five minutes). New Forest Wildlife Park (10 minutes) is another firm family favourite for its woodland quiz trails and adventure playgrounds. If the sun shines on you, head off to the shingle beaches at Hythe (15 minutes) or Milford on Sea (half an hour), have a wander around the Georgian-era naval docks Bucklers Hard village (25 minutes) and take an open-top bus ride around the grounds at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu (20 minutes).
