You can now book guided walking tours when staying at one of our properties in the popular seaside village of Milford on Sea on the south coast of the New Forest National Park.
Milford on Sea is a lovely, characterful village for those looking for a laid-back, traditional seaside holiday. Set along the cliff top, the village sprawls east, culminating in a picturesque village green surrounded by cottages, shops and independent eateries before spilling onto a one-and-a-half-mile pebble spit leading to Henry VIII’s Hurst Castle.
The sweeping sand-blasted cliffs, part-covered in a blanket of greenery and home to lots of bob-tailed rabbits, serve as a backdrop to rows of colourful beach huts standing along a gravel promenade. Large rocks and a pebble beach protect the shoreline, which is popular with swimmers and families – especially when the tide exposes fine, golden sand begging for a sandcastle to be made. The whole area is dog-friendly all year round and super scenic, with panoramic views across the bay to the Isle of Wight.
Milford on Sea is a thriving village community with friendly locals, a posse of fabulous places to eat and a year-round calendar of events. Their Tourism Destination and Local Directory website Visit Milford on Sea has launched a choice of two guided walks costing £10 per person, where you can get to know all the inside secrets, info and knowledge about this lovely village on a fascinating 90-minute stroll.
The Hidden Woodland Walk explores a conservation area known as The Pleasure Grounds, set within 14 acres of dappled woods and a pretty river called Dane Stream. Time trodden paths and walkways criss-cross the landscape punctuated by ropes swings across the river. The guided walk is led by an incredibly knowledgeable local expert who will introduce you to the magical flora and fauna, identifying ancient trees, plants, and woodland wildlife along the way.
