More an area than a village, Sowley is a great location for a New Forest holiday, surrounded by open woodland and heathland yet close to the bustling seaside town of Lymington and the Solent coast.

Pack a picnic of local produce and take in the surrounding views and wildlife at play at Sowley Pond, where donkeys are frequent visitors, happily posing for quirky photos! Holidays in Sowley should include some trusty walking shoes and a map to get out in the fresh air and explore the vast number of tracks, trails, rambles and paths. This part of the New Forest is particularly tranquil with only the odd sprinkling of homes and farms enveloped in woodland copses, heather plains, ponds and streams. If you’re a keen birdwatcher, head to Sowley Marsh where the New Forest meets the Solent and enjoy the fantastic views over the Isle of Wight.

Stock up on supplies in nearby Lymington and make a point of visiting The East End Arms, owned by Dire Straits guitarist John Illsley. It’s only a half hour walk from Sowley and is THE place locals go for great food and a delicious tipple.

Great activity, kids loved it! Harder than it looks.

August 2021


Did paddle boarding here, a great safe place to give it a try.

August 2021


We had a great time on the inflatables one morning. My son loved it! Friendly staff and good to hire wet suits.

August 2021


Planning to go there as looked good with all the fun equipment you could hire but found the cost for a family of six (two adults, four children) too expensive so did not go after all.

August 2021


This is a must for everyone, especially for teenagers who love a challenge. We left our two on the assault course for 2 hours whilst we wandered the salt marshes on the Solent Way nearby. The ice cream kiosk next to the baths is value for money too and sells the local ice cream with generous portions.

Brilliant place loved it although water was bracing

August 2023


We spent an afternoon there and the children enjoyed the inflatables. The weather was good. Changing rooms not clearly signed though.

August 2023


We swam here pretty much every morning of our stay that it was open. Good value for general swimming - the more expensive inflatables course looked like great fun but we didn't try it ourselves. Such a good way to start the day, and a great facility for the town as there's no beach. Would have been even better if it opened earlier or later in the day.

September 2023


Wonderful 1833 pool - I preferred the 20 degree temperature to the stifling 30 degree in the Leisure Centre. Very friendly staff. The most spacious pool I've swum in anywhere. Swam here most days £4.00 for two hours a bargain.

A brilliant days sailing with Clive, we were able to be very hands on, he was great company and super informative. Loved dropping into The Hut for lunch, altogether one of the best days out ever. (Pre book The Hut though, it's very popular!).
