  • Dog-friendly site; woodland walks and off-road cycle paths nearby
Time to get back to basics with a break at Wellowwood Camping, a dog-friendly site on a family-run farm a five-minute drive from the Hampshire village of West Wellow. At the site, which is easily accessed from the A36, you can drive right up to your grassy pitch, so there’ll be no lugging of heavy gear before getting settled. There are a couple of portable toilets in the field, but not much else – at least in the way of amenities. What the site does have, though, is a pretty enviable location: you are within a 10-minute drive of New Forest National Park, where there’s no shortage of family-friendly activities and attractions to keep you busy during your stay. Start the day with an exploration of the local surroundings, whether on foot or by bike (there are several off-road cycle paths in the vicinity). Bordered by centuries-old oak trees, Sherfield English (15 minutes’ walk) is a fenced-off area of wood- and wetlands popular with dog walkers, who can let their pooches off the leash. There are several equestrian centres within a 10-minute drive, or you can head to Dandy’s Ford (five minutes’ drive) for a spot of angling on three lakes stocked with carp and bream. All the while, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the local wildlife, from bats and harvest mice to ponies roaming freely within the New Forest.

Local attractions

Surround yourself in colour and heady fragrance at the New Forest Lavender Gardens (five minutes’ drive), where there’s more than just purple shrubs, with vibrant sunflowers and multicoloured dahlias. You can also stock up on plants for your own garden here, and sample delicious home-baked cakes in the pretty tea room. There are rides and attractions for all ages at Paultons Park (15 minutes), from vertiginous drop towers to gentle boat rides for toddlers. One of the popular highlights of the park is Peppa Pig World, where kids can meet some of the characters from the beloved cartoon show. With views of the Isle of Wight, just across the Solent, Lepe Beach (35 minutes) is a good spot for swimming and watersports. Pine trees shade the hiking trails in Lepe Country Park, and the surrounding coastline is dotted with remains of D-Day training exercises and World War II memorials.
