Just a fifteen-minute walk from the bustling New Forest capital town of Lyndhurst is the little village of Emery Down. Surrounded by open forest you’ll often see ponies, cattle, donkeys and maybe a deer or two walking past your window. This village is a wonderful location for wildlife, nature, walks and cycling.

Emery Green has an outstanding pub called the New Forest Inn, which has a lovely beer garden for those long summer days and two homely logs fires during the winter months.  They serve hearty, good food all day including a specials board. In the main street, past some impressive timbered Alms Houses, visitors can see a delightfully quirky idea the locals came up with for keeping their traditional red phone box, after the line was disconnected. The community now have a cherished and popular phone box which is an information hub and book exchange! For more comprehensive shopping and dining options just pop into Lyndhurst, one mile away. 

Emery Down has a village hall, village green and 19th Century church known for its lovely stained glass. The village has strong connections with Alice Liddle, who was the inspiration for the well-known novel ‘Alice in Wonderland’ written by family friend, Lewis Carroll.  Alice and her family frequented the church when they lived in their mansion ‘Cuffnells’ in Swan Green, a short amble from the village between Emery Down and Lyndhurst. The mansion has sadly been demolished, but its grounds provide a pleasant spot for a picnic.

Very interesting. Grandson enjoyed the hands on displays.

August 2017

Went on an event day, which was, for us, too busy. The tickets allowed to go in again within 6 days. Lovely and peaceful and managed to see round the palace. Staff very friendly and heloful. Our grandchildren had a great day

May 2018

This was a lovely place to visit with a two year old on a very cold day. As well as the displays that you'd expect there is a play, reading and colouring area for small children. The staff were really helpful, especially when Nanna was looking for baby changing facilities and needed help with the lift. Nanna and the two year old also enjoyed a snack in the cafe - again staff were very helpful and the food was tasty! There was also a nice selection of reasonably priced gifts. We're looking forward to visiting again.
