In the historic village of Rockbourne is West Park Farm, a working beef and arable farm. Occasionally, if you'd like to get involved you may be able to help the owner with day to day farm tasks and you are welcome to explore the pretty bluebell wood. Also on site, you'll find a large pond and a hard tennis court, which you are welcome to use (but please bring your own racquets). West Park Farm is ideally placed for exploring the New Forest, the cathedral city of Salisbury and the sandy beaches of Bournemouth and Christchurch. What was once a small granary has been converted into a neat, detached studio. Small but perfectly formed much thought has been given to providing everything you'll need, without cluttering the compact space. The high raftered ceiling makes the living area feel spacious and the small kitchen area which has a two-ring halogen hob and a multi-function microwave is adequate for preparing simple meals. Note:One pet accepted charged at 60 per stay.

On the banks of the River Avon, Fordingbridge offers a choice of shops, pubs and restaurants and a local museum. The town has seven arches of the Great Bridge. The New Forest National Park is 1.5 miles away, with picturesque villages, pubs, and acres of rugged moor, heath and woodland with wild ponies. The Elizabethan manor house at Breamore, the New Forest Water Park, and the home of the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, are attractions of the area.
