Tread Lightly Glamping

Tread Lightly Glamping has direct access to the New Forest and a myriad of trails for walking and cycling adventures. Not brought the bike? Not a problem, as you can hire one in Burley village (five minutes’ walk), where there is also a golf club, as well as a spa for special treats if you don’t feel like getting too active. Mix things up with a bit of history in the Maritime Museum at Buckler’s Hard on the Beaulieu river, where you can learn all about the building of Admiral Nelson’s navy. The National Motor Museum, Beaulieu (both half an hour’s drive) is a firm favourite for vintage-cars lovers and at the Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum (10 minutes) you can have a poke around a collection of classic bikes and there’s also a petting zoo for kids. Ah, the kids. If they’ve behaved, head for the sands at Avon beach (15 minutes) for some splashing around in the sea. If they need run off extra energy, try them on high ropes and treetop trails at Moors Valley Country Park and Forest (20 minutes) or the zipwires at Go Ape Moors Valley (15 minutes).
