Dog-friendly farm site between Cranborne Chase and the New Forest
A 10-minute drive to New Forest Water Park; half an hour to the coast
Behind a working water mill and tea rooms; pubs and shops nearby too

Craving watersports, treetop obstacle courses and cycle-easy forest paths? With Cranborne Chase on one side and New Forest on the other, Leat Farm is all about a relaxing retreat in the outdoors. That’s certainly what you get, as the dog-friendly farm site is part of a working smallholding and timber yard on the river Allen with a clear chalk stream, plenty of plant life and a working Stenner sawmill over 100 years old. You'll blend properly into farm life here, thanks to the site’s two horses (Bobbie and Cobby), four goats and a small band of turkeys nearby. At the same time, won't be too far away from the buzz, whether that's the beach or city – within driving distance, there’s Salisbury (half an hour’s drive), Southampton (50 minutes), Bournemouth (half an hour) Christchurch (25 minutes) and Poole (45 minutes). As for the local town, well, from Fordingbridge (five minutes), there’s a fair few adventures to be had and that’s not counting a trip down taste lane (restaurants, shops and pubs are in plentiful supply). There are riding stables, a park, woodland archery and a little further out, the New Forest Water Park (10 minutes) for a good go at wakeboarding, paddleboarding and other watersports. When you’re looking for something a little closer by, the site is behind Alderholt Mill, a working watermill with tearooms (a breakfast spot, maybe?). To the north of the site, there’s also a trout fishery five minutes' drive away.

Liked: Was very relaxed with lots of room, nice grass under foot, the kids enjoyed making friends with the horse. The site has Basic facilities but everything you need. It felt safe and friendly, the kids games were a nice touch. Us adults loved the fire pit with hanging BBQ on top we hired. The weather was very poor but we all had a lovely time.

Disliked: The decking to the toilets go very slippery when very wet.

Heading off on a family hol? Well, there’s a lot to keep the little ones entertained, whether it’s the battle boats and spinning teacups at Adventure Wonderland (25 minutes' drive), the coasters at Paultons Park Home of Peppa Pig World (35 minutes) or falconry shows and snakes at Liberty's Owl, Raptor & Reptile Centre (20 minutes). Those of you looking to throw some outdoor activities into the mix will also be set, whether that's with sailing at the New Forest and District Sailability (15 minutes), Go Ape in Moors Valley Country Park & Forest (20 minutes) or full-on wildlife watching on Brownsea Island (an hour and 25 minutes). History’s not so far away around here either. First of all, there's the 14th-century Old Wardour Castle (45 minutes) or heavy horses and vintage trucks at Dorset Heavy Horse Farm Park (10 minutes), then the elegance of the Elizabethan manor at Breamore House (15 minutes) or the National Trust country mansion at Kingston Lacy (half an hour). After a museum dive too? There’s the National Motor Museum (45 minutes), The Tank Museum (55 minutes) and Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum (40 minutes) for a look at the history of the vehicles.
