The morning sun filters through ancient oak trees onto a New Forest hideaway where woodland meets meadow, and Lymington's tidal creeks feel just a breath away.
Auplands offers something a bit different for this corner of Hampshire — camping pods tucked into the grounds alongside traditional guest house rooms, so you can choose your level of comfort depending on the weather or your mood. It suits couples after a Forest escape, families wanting a soft landing before exploring the ponies and coastal paths, or anyone who fancies a roof overhead but still wants to feel outdoors. The New Forest's open heathland, Lymington's Saturday market, and the Solent shore are all on your doorstep here.
You're booking year-round, which makes this a solid winter option when canvas feels less appealing. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing one. Campfires need checking on arrival — they'll let you know what's allowed depending on conditions. It's a quieter, more tucked-away feel than the busier Forest sites, with that guest house warmth if the evening turns chilly.

Freshwater Way
Meanders along the River Yar through Freshwater's quiet wetlands and meadows on mostly flat, well-maintained paths. Ideal for families and pushchairs along paved sections near the town, though some stretches become unpaved and muddy after rain. Dogs welcome and will love the riverside sniffing opportunities. Offers gentle valley views and connects Freshwater Bay to Yarmouth, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll with minimal effort and maximum Isle of Wight charm.

Headon Warren Walk, Isle of Wight
Explores National Trust heathland with gentle to moderate climbs across Headon Warren's sandy paths and grassland. The terrain can be uneven with exposed cliff-top sections, making it unsuitable for buggies and challenging for very young children. Dogs are welcome but should be kept under close control due to grazing livestock and ground-nesting birds. Rewards walkers with sweeping Solent views, wild heathland rich in wildlife, and dramatic chalk cliffs at the Needles headland.

Tennyson Down Trail, Isle of Wight
Follows the dramatic chalk ridge above The Needles with sustained climbs and exposed clifftop sections—steep in places but manageable for confident walkers. Not suitable for buggies or very young children due to sheer drops and uneven terrain. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near livestock and cliff edges. Spectacular coastal views across the Solent make this one of the island's finest walks, culminating at the iconic Tennyson Monument.
