It's not just any forest that edges Forest Edge Holiday Park. As you might guess from its location in Hampshire's Ringwood, it's near the New Forest, the ancient and woody expanse that was once the hunting ground of kings. The park has access to Hurn Forest which is in turn two miles from the New Forest – and as you might know if you have kids, Peppa Pig can be found around these parts too. Forest Edge is on nine acres of grassland and has level, well-drained pitches near the site's water point. Each pitch is individually marked and has space for an awning, sun loungers and barbecue if you want to bring these along – do go on... The site has a seasonal shop with off-licence, Calor gas service, public phones, a launderette and free showers. Please note that as Forest Edge is just off the A31, some pitches may experience traffic noise.

Local attractions

Forest Edge Holiday Park has access to Hurn Forest, a woody area (obvs) filled with walks and bike rides. Two miles from here is the New Forest, filled with yet more walks and bike rides as well as the National Motor Museum, pony trekking, opps for touring the forest in an open-topped bus, and Paultons Park with Peppa Pig World. The site is also easily accessible to the Moors Valley Country Park just over the border in Dorset, where outdoorsy peeps can indulge in all manner of activities including swinging among the trees at Go Ape. Nine miles away are the sandy beaches, restaurants and nightlife of Bournemouth, set between two other Dorset seaside towns in Christchurch and Poole.
