Don’t just reminisce about your childhood days of dangling from tree branches – actually do it!

The New Forest Outdoor Activity Centre near Lyndhurst is all about entertaining big kids, with its thrilling tree-climbing activity. Your adventure starts as soon as you step onto the first wrung of the ladder and head up into the canopy, navigating the puzzle of branches to help you climb higher and higher. And once you get to the top, you get to reward yourself with unbeatable views of the forest and beyond.

Go behind the scenes at this world-famous gin distillery in Laverstoke Mill. This self-guided tour takes you around its fantastic architecture, tropical glass houses and botanical room, where you smell different ingredients to find your perfect blend. 

Hidden away in The Pig Hotel’s garden are two potting sheds, converted into spa treatment rooms. Enjoy time to yourself with a full-body massage or bespoke facial using essential oils and products by Bamford or Oskia. Bliss!
