New Forest National Park: Our most recommended tours and activities

From Southampton: New Forest and Salisbury Private Tour

From Southampton: New Forest and Salisbury Private Tour

Escape to a world a million miles from your everyday life where ponies, cattle, donkeys, and deer roam free. Wild Horses won’t be able to drag you away from the New Forest once you’ve experienced its peace and fallen in love with the forest’s idyllic glades, ancient woodland, open moors, heathland, and cliff top walks. Also enjoy a visit to the delightful town of Salisbury, including a visit to its famous Cathedral with Britain’s tallest spire and best-preserved Magna Carta. Meet your professional driver guide on arrival at Southampton Cruise Terminal at 9:00 AM and relax in the comfort of an air-conditional vehicle. Start the day by traveling to the New Forest and begin with a visit to Beaulieu which means “Beautiful Place” and that is exactly what it is. The town is located on the stunning Beaulieu River which attracts a wealth of wild birds. The next stop is Lyndhurst affectionately known by locals as the capital of the Forest. Lyndhurst has been visited by kings and queens staying at the Royal Manor throughout the centuries. The local church contains the grave of Alice Liddell, who was the inspiration for Lewis Carol’s “Alice in Wonderland”. From here continue the journey through the New Forest to Brockenhurst which has been officially declared ‘Britain’s Most Beautiful Place to Live’. The area is home to ponies, deer, donkeys, and cows – all of which are known to roam the main street. The last New Forest village that you visit is Burley which is most famous for its witchcraft having been home to a coven of White Witches and a haunt of Smugglers. Leave the New Forest and travel to Salisbury, a historic city that grew up around its impressive cathedral. Upon arrival, explore over 800 years of history at Salisbury Cathedral, one of the UK’s most iconic medieval buildings. The Cathedral is a magnificent example of early English Gothic architecture with fascinating treasures including the original 1215 Magna Carta, one of only four in the world. Also you get to see Britain’s tallest spire and the world’s oldest working mechanical clock. Then drive back to your Southampton cruise in plenty of time for your departure.
