This pint-size, little village in the north of the National Park is surrounded by heathlands, sprawling fields and a milieu of woods studded with a bountiful supply of beautiful beech and oak trees. Expect to see plenty of the New Forest’s free-roaming ponies and cattle often joined in this part of the forest with pigs and the odd sheep or two. Book a holiday in Landford if you enjoy walking or cycling and be sure to stop at one of the area’s fantastic pubs and restaurants for lunch or dinner – The New Forest Lavender Farm, Les Mirabelles and The Shoe Inn are particularly good!
Use your New Forest Cottage in Landford as a base for exploring the less populated northern commons and outdoorsy adventures, because holidays in Landford are all about nature, peace, and relaxation with walks and picnic spots to soak up the views. You’re not far from a ton of attractions and days though… Bring your clubs for a tour of the outstanding 18-hole course at Hamptworth Golf Club and for history lovers, The National Trust’s Mottisfont Abbey is a twenty-minute drive, and the cathedral city of Salisbury is just 10 miles up the road. If you have youngsters in tow, you really shouldn’t miss a day trip to Paultons Park – home of Peppa Pig World and The New Forest Wildlife Park. And a big hit for any age is Beaulieu to see the National Motor Museum, Palace, Abbey ruins and Gardens.

April 2024
We went for dinner here whilst staying at Westwinds Annexe (from which it is walking distance). We enjoyed it, there was a lot of choice and a good atmosphere and we would gladly return. Pub has a great outlook onto the village green with the New Forest ponies and donkeys roaming about.
April 2024
We only went with the family for a drink but found the staff very helpful. As we had children with us we sat in the garden which probably could have been a bit nicer but did not spoil anything.
April 2022
A lovely country pub serving excellent food and good wine with great service, in a beautiful location with lots of forest walks right on the doorstep.
November 2021
We had a really lovely evening at The Lamb. The staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful while maintaining Covid safety. The food arrived nicely presented and was delicious. There was plenty of space around our table, we didn't feel hemmed in and our dog could fit comfortably under the table, yet we felt part of a happy group of diners. Thank you.

A busy gastro pub in the countryside. A lovely ambience emanates from the warren of eating and drinking spaces. Beautifully furnished with deep comfy velvet and leather sofas, tables and chairs. There’s a sunny beer garden and plenty of parking. Menus are a selection of pub classics with the odd creative twist, all cooked really well. There is separate children’s menu and dedicated gluten free menu too. Dog friendly

September 2021
Great venue for food and very polite staff
June 2021
We had an amazing meal at the Rockingham Arms. The staff were so lovely and helpful - we had booked a table hoping our toddler would be fast asleep in her pushchair however she was wide awake! The staff were amazing and actually found a space for us away from everyone else where we could try and get her to sleep and also enjoy our meal. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.
September 2019
Wonderful service, friendly to children, impeccably decorated and maintained, and delicious food. Easily our best meal in the forest.

Click Here for further information
Absolutely fabulous theme park - so clean, well laid out, plenty of staff, all helpful and friendly, great rides for the little ones, plenty of places to eat and drink and beautiful gardens. We will definitely visit again when next in the New Forest.
April 2022
Good entertainment for kids, so much to see and do, a good day out
August 2021
Our 2 year old absolutely loved Peppa world. I have to say I wasn’t sure what to expect but we really enjoyed it too! Plenty of rides for the little ones, well laid out with affordable eating options and plenty of toilets and baby change facilities too. Can imagine it gets very busy in the school holidays but we were slightly out of season so it was great!
September 2019
Our two year old thought it was the best thing ever, and is still exciting about visiting Peppa Pig's house and meeting his heroes. We thought that the rest of the park was more exciting (and shorter queues.) Many of the rides closed much later than the advertised closing time - so by staying later we got more time in the park and also avoided the worst of the queues to get out.
September 2017
Furzey Gardens
(5 miles)
(21)
Set in the heart of the New Forest at Minstead in Hampshire, this delightful informal garden was established in 1922 and is renowned for its all year round beauty, and for being a haven of peace and tranquillity: Furzey Gardens.
Visited ast week -was able to take the dog in too - lovely area, lovely staff - well worth a visit. Great example of social enterprise/Minstead Trust. Would visit again.
February 2024
We enjoyed Furzey gardens whilst staying at house for Christmas. The tinsel fairy tree trail was great , did it 3 times just to see if any fairies were at home. We liked the sculptures and quirky art amongst the garden. We will come again in may to see rhododendron in full bloom.
January 2024
Wonderful for all ages. The autumn colours were marvellous in the late October sunshine and the entertainment for young children was superb.
November 2023
Lovely Gardens and very nice (and tasty) cafe. Lots of tree houses and play areas for small children. Would love to go earlier in the year when everything is in bloom.
August 2023
We visit furzey garden whenever we can and it never disappoints. A wonderful and pleasant place to explore and to unwind and follow up with tea and coffee and a snack at the cafe.
May 2023
A truly amazing garden, supporting a brilliant charity
July 2022
We went there for an afternoon with the children and it was delightful. The children enjoyed the fairies and the adults enjoyed the beautiful gardens. One warning we thought we could take the dog but she wasn't allowed.
April 2022
Well worth a visit, something to see in every season. Nice cafe that you can visit anytime for coffee & cake. Plenty of interest for children with climbing towers, swings, tadpoles in the lake and fairy doors to find!
April 2022
Lovely colorful gardens on a gentle slope with winding paths and pond. Cafe sells variety of cakes, including vegan ones and excellent cup of tea.
April 2022
Fabulous little gardens, doing brilliant work.
July 2021
Definitely worth a visit. It is necessary to book a visiting slot via their website during the pandemic due to controlling numbers.
June 2021
Staff very helpful and Covid precautions good.spent a lovely couple of hours there and a coffee and cake after in the thatched tearoom.would visit again.
September 2020
I would recommend a visit to these beautiful gardens. A little gem.
September 2020
Furzey is a wonderful tranquil spot full of hidden corners & fairy doors to explore. Beautiful in the autumn & I would love to visit in other seasons too. The cafe is full of wonderful locally home made cakes & would highly recommend the carrot, chocolate, ginger, victoria sponge & scones! There are also plants & lots of cards & gifts for sale all at very reasonable prices.
September 2019
Lovely place to spend a few hours in the sunshine. Really nice play area for kids in the woodland too - lots to climb and explore and a nice cafe too.

Barton on Sea
(16 miles)
(2)
A stony beach with sandy areas as the tide goes out, and a great spot to do some fossil hunting. The cliffs are subject to considerable coastal erosion and at times parts of the beach can be cordoned off. The Beachcomber Café on the cliff top is one of the most popular cafés in the region. Plenty of parking in car parks along the cliff top as well as on-road parking.
A pleasant walk along the cliff top and along the beach. There was less cliff than last time we went to the New Forest.
June 2023
Super walk, nice and easy and great place for a meal or tea and cake by the car park.
April 2019
Highcliffe Beach
(16 miles)
Highcliffe beach, beneath the popular Cliffhanger Restaurant is a part sandy, part pebble beach. The beach has sloping access as well as steps down to the shore from the pay and display clifftop car park. To the east, Highcliffe beach towards Barton on Sea is a part sandy beach at the foot of the second most eroded cliff in England. This side of the beach is dog-friendly all year. However do check the tide times as high tide can make it difficult to walk along the beach.
To the west towards Highcliffe Castle beach, the promenade leads across the top of the small beaches inbetween the groynes with views across Christchurch Bay and Hengistbury Head. Groynes 4-8 have dog restrictions as does the promenade during the summer months, May-September.
Highcliffe Castle Beach
(16 miles)
(3)
A picturesque, tree-lined beach of shingle, and sand at low tide. Good facilities on the cliff top including an excellent tea room, public toilets, baby change and a children’s play area in the Castle gardens. Plenty of parking and sloping access down to the beach. Highcliffe Castle beach is dog-friendly all year round.
Very picturesque beach with great access, looks good for a beach day

April 2017
Milford on Sea
(17 miles)
(16)
A beautiful shingle beach with pretty painted beach huts, plenty of parking, and excellent coastal walks along Hurst spit to Hurst Castle with clear views of the Isle of Wight and needles. The superb Raft Rocks Restaurant is worth a visit with its Art deco style and roof terrace. You can also walk across the wildlife marshes to Keyhaven harbour and (in season) take the boat to Hurst Castle or the Isle of Wight.
Lovely sea walk within 15 minutes of the cottage.
March 2024
A lovely place to stay. So much to see and do locally and within easy reach.
August 2023
Milford on Sea is a very quintessential English village which has retained all its charm. The seafront is a delight to stroll along and The Needles Eye Cafe produces lovely coffee and lunches which is well worth a visit. A walk around Sturt Pond is also enjoyable and through to the village.
June 2023
Lovely quiet location for a beach walk. Great for watching the sea and waves without the crowds.
June 2023
Brilliant beach.
September 2022
Beautiful beach with views to The Isle of Wight. Good for swimming, picnics and walking. Very good car parking and public toilets. Lots of good places to eat and drink either next to the beach or in the village, a short walk away
July 2022
A proper gem. Great location for the new forest. The village is great and was only a short walk from our house. Not too busy or full of holiday makers. We will be back.
October 2021
One of my favourite places
July 2021
Good place to go if you have a buggy or wheelchair as there is a tarmac path along the top of the cliffs with great views of the Needles, plenty of parking and a kiosk serving refreshments.
September 2020
Lovely village with adequate shops on a very pretty green.
September 2019
Due to my husband breaking his leg we hired a mobility scooter for our holiday. It was a joy to ride along the front at Milford. Wonderful views of The Needles and lots of benches along the way too. Great access from the car parks. Would be great if the short path from Milford to Keyhaven could be the same good surface. We felt the rough stones would be too hard to ride on.
June 2019
Love Milford on Sea so old fashioned hasn't changed much since I use go as a child in the 1960/70s
April 2019
great walking area, small cafe-the needles, children climbing play park- crashing waves over stoned beach
March 2019
Great for a dog walk along the spit to Hurst Castle. Needles Eye cafe is a welcome break, quite good food but very busy and a bit basic.
December 2017
Fantastic sea location with goods pubs, shops etc
November 2017
Lovely village, plenty of shops and places to eat - no post office though.
June 2017
Avon Beach
(17 miles)
(2)
A family friendly beach close to Mudeford and Christchurch Harbour with plenty to do for all. For those with disabilities or small children there is a beach level carpark, and to keep everyone safe there is a designated bathing area and a seperate area allocated for watersports, all overseen by lifeguards in the summer months. This pretty sand and shingle beach is backed by trees and countryside and if you fancy some fresh local seafood or simply a coffee, ice cream or a cold drink, the beach is home to the excellent Noisy Lobster, serving breakfast, lunch and supper all year round.
Nice beach with good facilities
April 2023
Beautiful beach, lots of sand for youngsters- definitely been high on our favourites list, for more than 30 years and still is now the 'children' are nearly 30! - well worth the drive from New Forest. The Noisy Lobster is great and now has an 'outdoor upstairs' too. The Beach Cafe, half-way along, is excellent too- used to do very good carrot cake! The connecting beach towards Steamer Point is dog-friendly all year which is a bonus. Walking to the quay end, you can catch the ferry to Hengistbury Head which is beautiful beach too and often quieter (top favourite!) Even this last week (JULY 2021) the 'kids' wanted to crab-fish from Mudeford Quay!!
August 2021
April 2024
Property beautifully presented and well equipped. Lovely welcome box on arrival.
April 2024
We loved our stay at Westwinds Annexe. The location couldn't be any better for the New Forest, and the property itself was excellent all round - lots of natural light through the windows, nicely proportioned rooms with high quality fixtures and furniture, clean and warm inside. Thank you Jayne and Nigel for the lovely welcome basket. We had a great long weekend here but wished we'd stayed longer and hope to be back again soon.
April 2024
Thank you so much for a brilliant return visit. We have had another very relaxing stay, and some lovely walks in spite of the weather.
April 2024
Thank you so much- one of the loveliest places we have stayed in the UK. Loved all the nearby walks (and to the Lamb Inn!), the donkeys, ponies, and pigs! We were lucky with the weather and even if we weren't we would love to come back!
January 2024
Thank you so much Jane and Nigel. Everything was just perfect and I could not think of a more delightful place to stay. You've thought of everything and are excellent hosts xx

A wonderfully relaxing stay. Such a lovely little annexe, just perfect for what we wanted. A lovely location for exploring and enjoying the New Forest. Jayne and Nigel so very welcoming. Buster and Marley loved it too!
May 2023
We had a fantastic holiday in Westwinds Annex. It's perfectly sited, not far from attractions but far enough away to not be in busy places. We picked because it met my mobility needs, as well as being a fabulous spot, lovely views, beautifully furnished and lovely hosts. We really didn't want for much. Even the weather was much better than forecast, 7 days of sunshine! We visited some places I knew well (but husband didn't know at all) as I grew up in the area, and a lot of places I didn't know either. Recommends: Exbury Gardens, Hiller Gardens, Winchester Cathedral and the Great Hall. We look forward to going back, perhaps in Autumn and hope for 'England in the Fall' .
May 2023
We had a great stay. Jayne.and Nigel were helpful, but not intrusive. The view from the front window was picture post card perfect.

Nothing too much trouble for Jayne and Nigel with lots of thoughtful touches -treats/blankets for the dog and a lovely welcome basket - thank you! Lots to see and do in the area - we will be back!

A lovely stay in this part of the New Forest, great walking area. Salisbury Cathedral and tour up the tower well worth while. Thanks for the use of this well appointed annex.

Homely residence, lovely views, beautiful surroundings and friendly neighbours. So relaxing. Thank you.
May 2023
Thank you Jayne and Nigel for making the annexe a five star experience. We have stayed at many self catering accommodation but none as comfortable as yours.
May 2023
A wonderfully relaxing stay. Such a lovely little annexe, just perfect for what we wanted. A lovely location for exploring and enjoying the New Forest. Jayne and Nigel so very welcoming. Buster and Marley loved it too!
May 2023
We had a fantastic holiday in Westwinds Annex. It's perfectly sited, not far from attractions but far enough away to not be in busy places. We picked because it met my mobility needs, as well as being a fabulous spot, lovely views, beautifully furnished and lovely hosts. We really didn't want for much. Even the weather was much better than forecast, 7 days of sunshine! We visited some places I knew well (but husband didn't know at all) as I grew up in the area, and a lot of places I didn't know either. Recommends: Exbury Gardens, Hiller Gardens, Winchester Cathedral and the Great Hall. We look forward to going back, perhaps in Autumn and hope for 'England in the Fall' .
May 2023
We had a great stay. Jayne.and Nigel were helpful, but not intrusive. The view from the front window was picture post card perfect.
May 2023
Had a lovely stay. The annexe has everything one could want and our hosts were very welcoming. Thank you.
May 2023
We have had a brilliant time. Very homely and very relaxing. The location has been perfect to see the lovely New Forest. Thank you so much for our lovely stay.
May 2023
Had a great short break to recharge the batteries. Everything we needed in the Annexe, will definitely visit again.
April 2023
Wonderful.
March 2023
It was a chilly, blustery week but it didn't matter as the warm welcome and cosy 'home from home' more then made up for it ! Nothing too much trouble for Jayne and Nigel with lots of thoughtful touches -treats/blankets for the dog and a lovely welcome basket - thank you! Lots to see and do in the area - we will be back!
March 2023
A very relaxing stay in a wonderful part of the country. The Annexe is perfectly set out for comfort both humans and dogs. Thank you very much for our stay and making us so welcome. See you again

Delicious food. All made very welcome, from OAPs to baby and in between!

We went for dinner here whilst staying at Westwinds Annexe (from which it is walking distance). We enjoyed it, there was a lot of choice and a good atmosphere and we would gladly return. Pub has a great outlook onto the village green with the New Forest ponies and donkeys roaming about.
April 2024
We only went with the family for a drink but found the staff very helpful. As we had children with us we sat in the garden which probably could have been a bit nicer but did not spoil anything.
April 2022
A lovely country pub serving excellent food and good wine with great service, in a beautiful location with lots of forest walks right on the doorstep.
November 2021
We had a really lovely evening at The Lamb. The staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful while maintaining Covid safety. The food arrived nicely presented and was delicious. There was plenty of space around our table, we didn't feel hemmed in and our dog could fit comfortably under the table, yet we felt part of a happy group of diners. Thank you.

Great venue for food and very polite staff
June 2021
We had an amazing meal at the Rockingham Arms. The staff were so lovely and helpful - we had booked a table hoping our toddler would be fast asleep in her pushchair however she was wide awake! The staff were amazing and actually found a space for us away from everyone else where we could try and get her to sleep and also enjoy our meal. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.
September 2019
Wonderful service, friendly to children, impeccably decorated and maintained, and delicious food. Easily our best meal in the forest.

Absolutely fabulous theme park - so clean, well laid out, plenty of staff, all helpful and friendly, great rides for the little ones, plenty of places to eat and drink and beautiful gardens. We will definitely visit again when next in the New Forest.
April 2022
Good entertainment for kids, so much to see and do, a good day out
August 2021
Our 2 year old absolutely loved Peppa world. I have to say I wasn’t sure what to expect but we really enjoyed it too! Plenty of rides for the little ones, well laid out with affordable eating options and plenty of toilets and baby change facilities too. Can imagine it gets very busy in the school holidays but we were slightly out of season so it was great!
September 2019
Our two year old thought it was the best thing ever, and is still exciting about visiting Peppa Pig's house and meeting his heroes. We thought that the rest of the park was more exciting (and shorter queues.) Many of the rides closed much later than the advertised closing time - so by staying later we got more time in the park and also avoided the worst of the queues to get out.

Furzey Gardens
(5 miles)
(21)
Set in the heart of the New Forest at Minstead in Hampshire, this delightful informal garden was established in 1922 and is renowned for its all year round beauty, and for being a haven of peace and tranquillity: Furzey Gardens.
Visited ast week -was able to take the dog in too - lovely area, lovely staff - well worth a visit. Great example of social enterprise/Minstead Trust. Would visit again.
February 2024
We enjoyed Furzey gardens whilst staying at house for Christmas. The tinsel fairy tree trail was great , did it 3 times just to see if any fairies were at home. We liked the sculptures and quirky art amongst the garden. We will come again in may to see rhododendron in full bloom.
January 2024
Wonderful for all ages. The autumn colours were marvellous in the late October sunshine and the entertainment for young children was superb.
November 2023
Lovely Gardens and very nice (and tasty) cafe. Lots of tree houses and play areas for small children. Would love to go earlier in the year when everything is in bloom.
August 2023
We visit furzey garden whenever we can and it never disappoints. A wonderful and pleasant place to explore and to unwind and follow up with tea and coffee and a snack at the cafe.
May 2023
A truly amazing garden, supporting a brilliant charity
July 2022
We went there for an afternoon with the children and it was delightful. The children enjoyed the fairies and the adults enjoyed the beautiful gardens. One warning we thought we could take the dog but she wasn't allowed.
April 2022
Well worth a visit, something to see in every season. Nice cafe that you can visit anytime for coffee & cake. Plenty of interest for children with climbing towers, swings, tadpoles in the lake and fairy doors to find!
April 2022
Lovely colorful gardens on a gentle slope with winding paths and pond. Cafe sells variety of cakes, including vegan ones and excellent cup of tea.
April 2022
Fabulous little gardens, doing brilliant work.
July 2021
Definitely worth a visit. It is necessary to book a visiting slot via their website during the pandemic due to controlling numbers.

Staff very helpful and Covid precautions good.spent a lovely couple of hours there and a coffee and cake after in the thatched tearoom.would visit again.
September 2020
I would recommend a visit to these beautiful gardens. A little gem.
September 2020
Furzey is a wonderful tranquil spot full of hidden corners & fairy doors to explore. Beautiful in the autumn & I would love to visit in other seasons too. The cafe is full of wonderful locally home made cakes & would highly recommend the carrot, chocolate, ginger, victoria sponge & scones! There are also plants & lots of cards & gifts for sale all at very reasonable prices.
September 2019

Barton on Sea
(16 miles)
(2)
A stony beach with sandy areas as the tide goes out, and a great spot to do some fossil hunting. The cliffs are subject to considerable coastal erosion and at times parts of the beach can be cordoned off. The Beachcomber Café on the cliff top is one of the most popular cafés in the region. Plenty of parking in car parks along the cliff top as well as on-road parking.
A pleasant walk along the cliff top and along the beach. There was less cliff than last time we went to the New Forest.
June 2023
Super walk, nice and easy and great place for a meal or tea and cake by the car park.
April 2019
Highcliffe Beach
(16 miles)
Highcliffe beach, beneath the popular Cliffhanger Restaurant is a part sandy, part pebble beach. The beach has sloping access as well as steps down to the shore from the pay and display clifftop car park. To the east, Highcliffe beach towards Barton on Sea is a part sandy beach at the foot of the second most eroded cliff in England. This side of the beach is dog-friendly all year. However do check the tide times as high tide can make it difficult to walk along the beach.
To the west towards Highcliffe Castle beach, the promenade leads across the top of the small beaches inbetween the groynes with views across Christchurch Bay and Hengistbury Head. Groynes 4-8 have dog restrictions as does the promenade during the summer months, May-September.
Highcliffe Castle Beach
(16 miles)
(3)
A picturesque, tree-lined beach of shingle, and sand at low tide. Good facilities on the cliff top including an excellent tea room, public toilets, baby change and a children’s play area in the Castle gardens. Plenty of parking and sloping access down to the beach. Highcliffe Castle beach is dog-friendly all year round.
Very picturesque beach with great access, looks good for a beach day

Milford on Sea
(17 miles)
(16)
A beautiful shingle beach with pretty painted beach huts, plenty of parking, and excellent coastal walks along Hurst spit to Hurst Castle with clear views of the Isle of Wight and needles. The superb Raft Rocks Restaurant is worth a visit with its Art deco style and roof terrace. You can also walk across the wildlife marshes to Keyhaven harbour and (in season) take the boat to Hurst Castle or the Isle of Wight.
Lovely sea walk within 15 minutes of the cottage.
March 2024
A lovely place to stay. So much to see and do locally and within easy reach.
August 2023
Milford on Sea is a very quintessential English village which has retained all its charm. The seafront is a delight to stroll along and The Needles Eye Cafe produces lovely coffee and lunches which is well worth a visit. A walk around Sturt Pond is also enjoyable and through to the village.
June 2023
Lovely quiet location for a beach walk. Great for watching the sea and waves without the crowds.
June 2023
Brilliant beach.
September 2022
Beautiful beach with views to The Isle of Wight. Good for swimming, picnics and walking. Very good car parking and public toilets. Lots of good places to eat and drink either next to the beach or in the village, a short walk away
July 2022
A proper gem. Great location for the new forest. The village is great and was only a short walk from our house. Not too busy or full of holiday makers. We will be back.
October 2021
One of my favourite places
July 2021
Good place to go if you have a buggy or wheelchair as there is a tarmac path along the top of the cliffs with great views of the Needles, plenty of parking and a kiosk serving refreshments.
September 2020
Lovely village with adequate shops on a very pretty green.
September 2019
Due to my husband breaking his leg we hired a mobility scooter for our holiday. It was a joy to ride along the front at Milford. Wonderful views of The Needles and lots of benches along the way too. Great access from the car parks. Would be great if the short path from Milford to Keyhaven could be the same good surface. We felt the rough stones would be too hard to ride on.
June 2019
Love Milford on Sea so old fashioned hasn't changed much since I use go as a child in the 1960/70s
April 2019
great walking area, small cafe-the needles, children climbing play park- crashing waves over stoned beach
March 2019
Great for a dog walk along the spit to Hurst Castle. Needles Eye cafe is a welcome break, quite good food but very busy and a bit basic.
December 2017
Fantastic sea location with goods pubs, shops etc
November 2017
Lovely village, plenty of shops and places to eat - no post office though.
June 2017
Avon Beach
(17 miles)
(2)
A family friendly beach close to Mudeford and Christchurch Harbour with plenty to do for all. For those with disabilities or small children there is a beach level carpark, and to keep everyone safe there is a designated bathing area and a seperate area allocated for watersports, all overseen by lifeguards in the summer months. This pretty sand and shingle beach is backed by trees and countryside and if you fancy some fresh local seafood or simply a coffee, ice cream or a cold drink, the beach is home to the excellent Noisy Lobster, serving breakfast, lunch and supper all year round.
Nice beach with good facilities
April 2023
Beautiful beach, lots of sand for youngsters- definitely been high on our favourites list, for more than 30 years and still is now the 'children' are nearly 30! - well worth the drive from New Forest. The Noisy Lobster is great and now has an 'outdoor upstairs' too. The Beach Cafe, half-way along, is excellent too- used to do very good carrot cake! The connecting beach towards Steamer Point is dog-friendly all year which is a bonus. Walking to the quay end, you can catch the ferry to Hengistbury Head which is beautiful beach too and often quieter (top favourite!) Even this last week (JULY 2021) the 'kids' wanted to crab-fish from Mudeford Quay!!
