Travelled down the M3 on 1st September to the Hollands Wood Campsite in the middle of the New Forest for 4 nights. This is a ‘Camping in the Forest’ site just outside Brockenhurst – no electricity hook up and pitch up whereever you like under the trees (just watch out for the ponies)! It was very peaceful with some excellent walks through the forest. We took a bus from outside the campsite into the very attractive town of Lymington. The town is situated where the Lymington River meets the Solent. We walked along the river past several marinas and a huge sea water swimming pool. There was plenty of traffic on the river including the car ferry heading for Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight. On our last day as a special treat we stopped for lunch at The Pig – we has seen the restaurant featured on a BBC programme and the food did not disappoint!
