T<br />
he <strong>New</strong> <strong>Forest</strong>, one of Britain’s newer <strong>National</strong><br />
<strong>Park</strong>s, was set aside as a royal hunting area by<br />
William the Conqueror in 1079. It is a precious<br />
place of great natural beauty, and a unique way to explore<br />
it is on these open-top bus tours.<br />
You get grandstand views as the bus takes you through<br />
the heart of this magnificent heath and forest landscape.<br />
You can hop on and off where you like and catch another<br />
bus later on, or switch between tours,<br />
all on the same ticket.<br />
But of course, it’s the wide<br />
open landscape with vistas fading<br />
towards the horizon, the dense<br />
woodland with its ancient oaks and<br />
beeches, the wealth of flora and<br />
fauna, that is the indefinable magic<br />
of the <strong>New</strong> <strong>Forest</strong>.<br />
Tours run every day - dates are on the<br />
timetables on the other side - and if<br />
you’ve got a cycle with you, you can put<br />
it inside the bus, then set off on some<br />
fantastic cycle rides at various points.<br />
They’re all shown in the guide you’ll be<br />
given when you get on board, along with<br />
a wealth of information about places to<br />
hop off along the way and discounts at many<br />
attractions, shops and cafés.<br />
There’s an informative commentary to add to your<br />
enjoyment, and you’ll see far more than<br />
you ever could in a car, and fewer cars<br />
in the <strong>Park</strong> has to be better for everyone.<br />
Whichever tour you choose, it’s a great way to really<br />
experience the <strong>New</strong> <strong>Forest</strong>.<br />
Lyndhurst is the capital of the <strong>Forest</strong>. Both tours call here, and<br />
the village has cafés, restaurants and teashops, not to mention<br />
interesting galleries and craft shops.<br />
green <strong>route</strong><br />
If you’re coming by train join at Brockenhurst - there are<br />
good connections from Bournemouth, Southampton,<br />
London and the Midlands.<br />
You’ll like Lymington’s elegant Georgian buildings,<br />
interesting shops and cobbled quay. The town has<br />
a great atmosphere with a distinct nautical tilt.<br />
The bus also stops at the <strong>National</strong> Motor Museum,<br />
where you can visit Bond In Motion the world’s largest<br />
official collection of original James Bond vehicles. And<br />
look at Palace House, home to the Montagu family<br />
since 1538, and the ruins of Beaulieu Abbey.<br />
Or there’s Exbury Gardens, a riot of<br />
colour in summer when the Sundial<br />
Garden and herbaceous borders are<br />
at their best. When you pay your<br />
admission, show your <strong>New</strong> <strong>Forest</strong> Tour<br />
ticket and get a free ride on the<br />
Gardens Steam Railway - great fun!<br />
<strong>red</strong> <strong>route</strong><br />
This <strong>route</strong> takes you through Burley, a traditional<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>Forest</strong> village full of character, once<br />
the haunt of smugglers and highwaymen.<br />
Then it’s onto Ringwood, a market town<br />
with a lively Wednesday morning street market.<br />
At Liberty's Owl, Raptor & Reptile Centre, you’ll see<br />
magnificent birds of prey, flying displays, plus snakes,<br />
lizards and much more besides. Beer has been brewed<br />
in Ringwood for centuries. The modern Ringwood<br />
Brewery nearby was founded by Peter Austin<br />
in 1978, and produces very fine local beers.<br />
The bus passes through Fordingbridge so<br />
you can explore this attractive town.<br />
Sandy Balls is an environmentallyfriendly<br />
resort in the heart of the <strong>Forest</strong>,<br />
where you can enjoy woodland walks<br />
down to the River Avon and the<br />
excellent pub and restaurant on-site.<br />
Buy organic produce at the Farmers' Market,<br />
which sells the best of the region's locally<br />
produced food and drink.
