After a pleasant sleep in and a huge cooked breakie we said goodbye to our pub and drove down into the New Forest.It was a beautiful area, lots of orange thanks to Autumn and animals everywhere! Ponies, donkeys, cows and pigs all dotting the landscape (and deer too apparently but we didn't spot any). Many of them hang out on the road so you have to be careful driving through. It's an incredible area and really unique.
We stopped at a little carpark and wondered through the park, coming very close to a few ponies and finding some cool gnarly trees. It had been raining all morning so there was water everywhere and small running streams where they wouldn't normally be, but the weather added to the beauty of the area.We also stopped further into the forest at a camping ground (which was no longer in use because of the season) because I had spotted some huge pigs from the road. There were quite a few people around who used the area for hikes and biking and we went for a long walk around too. I loved the pigs, they were so big and cute.
We drove all the way through to the south and a town called Lymington where we had English cream tea (tea with scones, jam & clotted cream - yum!) for afternoon tea, before driving back through the forest on our way back to London. It was such a great day and I would love to head back again for a camping trip.
