I live in Ringwood with my family. I am proud to say there are so many beautiful places to visit in this area. We love to spend time walking or cycling in the New Forest. We also love to visit the local beaches for kayaking or walks with our dogs, some of which are dog friendly all year round. Another favourite time to go is at sunset. There are many outstanding restaurants overlooking the coast also. During your stay, I live 5 minutes away from Lilypad so can be available if needed. I am happy to provide you with information on places to visit if you need any suggestions. Available by phone, email or text message.
