New Forest Reptile Centre

If you are visiting The New Forest during the school holidays, then you will not want to miss this walk. Children can view the UK’s native reptiles in a series of pods before embarking on a discovery trail through the forest that will encourage them to engage with their senses.

Bolderwood Deer Sanctury

Follow the Radnor Trail through varied woodland from ancient deciduous to Norway spruce to Bratley Water where children can splash in the stream. The walk ends at a viewing platform, where if you are lucky, you will see a herd of fallow deer. A great choice for the autumn.
