Join us as we escape to The New Forest National Park and take on a self-drive safari through one of England's most unique landscapes.
We begin our day at the village of Brockenhurst where we treat ourselves to delicious breakfast and spend some time watching the cars (and bikes) splash their way through the village's iconic ford before it's our turn to do just that as we start the Rhinefield Ornamental Drive - one of the New Forest's top things to do.
This drive sees us wind through endless moorlands and forests with stops a long the way to explore some of the most magical places on foot. Our first stop is Whitefield Moor, with its gentle rolling hills covered in purple heather as far as the eye can see. We also get our first glimpse of the free-roaming New Forest Ponies. We then make our way to Blackwater Arboretum to complete the tall trees trail where you can get up close to some of the UK's record breaking trees, including Sequoia and Redwood.
The second half of the drive sees us continue on to the Bolderwood Ornamental Drive beginning at the Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary where we are greeted by more ponies before heading off in to the forest once more in the search of deer - and we are not disappointed! We end our day at Cadmans Pool, a well-known watering hole for the wildlife and we get to witness those famous New Forest Ponies taking a drink.
Is this the best drive in the UK? Well it certainly is one of the most enchanting!
