In the south of the forest, cradled amidst a landscape of softly rolling heather plains, meadows, and ancient woodland, the sprawling hamlet of Ossemsley is the perfect destination for those looking for a laid-back, nature-laden peaceful escape.
Here, you can soak up the joys of forest life and holiday uninterrupted at a relaxed pace where wildlife and nature take centre stage. Spend days walking well-worn trails and tracks alongside the forest’s free-roaming ponies and donkeys, where the only noise you’ll hear is the swishing of trees and birdsong. Explore picture postcard villages and weave down leafy lanes to hidden pubs serving delicious dishes, fine wine, and exciting ales.
There are two wonderful farm shops packed with local produce nearby, making a self-catering holiday in Ossemsley not only easy, but delicious! Within a mile or so, there’s the market town of New Milton for a choice of supermarkets and shops. It’s just a little further to the coast and swimming beach at Barton on Sea, where you’ll find a handful of clifftop cafes and restaurants with magnificent views across the bay to the Isle of Wight.
If you’re planning a family holiday in Ossemsley, there are loads of great options for days out, suiting all ages. The Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum, Highcliffe Castle, Adventure Wonderland, Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary and Snowtrax Dry Ski Slope are just some of the local attractions waiting to be discovered.
