Dating in Lymington and the New Forest
In shortThe New Forest is a national park of heath, old woods and villages where ponies and donkeys roam free. Brockenhurst sits between Lyndhurst and Lymington and is on a mainline railway, so you do not need a car. Lymington and the beaches at Milford-on-Sea are close by for a second date.
A first date idea
A walk or bike ride from Brockenhurst
Visit Hampshire suggests walking among the old trees and open spaces around Brockenhurst, or hiring bikes for the off-road tracks. The village has pubs and tea rooms for afterwards. Enjoy the ponies from a distance, as the national park asks people not to feed or touch them.
