Unforgettable New Forest National Park Adventures

Yes, you must use designated car parks. Parking on verges and forest roads is prohibited. Check the Forestry England website for available car parks and their facilities before visiting.

Dogs are welcome but must be kept under control. During spring and early summer, dogs may be excluded from certain areas to protect ground-nesting birds. Always check local notices for seasonal restrictions.

Free-roaming ponies, cattle, and donkeys graze throughout the forest under commoning rights. Stay alert, keep distance from animals, and never feed them. They have priority on roads, so drive carefully and slowly.
