johnwill Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Hi Maybe planning for a bunch of us (10 cars ish) to come to the New Forest area for a few days, and wondered if you have any guides, ideas as to where to stay, TR friendly, and visits to make while there? I can find the obvious ie Beaulieu Motor museum, but the obvious can miss out special places that locals, or other visitors know about. Any ideas welcome. Thanks john Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Sammy Miller motorcycle museum is worth a visit, near New Milton. The Rising Sun Inn is a good pub / sleeping place Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SuzanneH Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) We have often stayed in The Balmer Lawn Hotel in The New Forest Brockenhurst, it has indoor and outdoor swimming pools and even takes dogs. It has a cricket pitch in front of the hotel and a stream beside it, I’m sure for an early group booking they may offer a special deal. It has a lovely aspect and atmosphere. https://www.trivago.co.uk/en-GB/srl?themeId=600&search=100-865441&sem_keyword=balmer lawn new forest&sem_creativeid=638432003657&sem_matchtype=p&sem_network=g&sem_device=t&sem_placement=&sem_target=&sem_adposition=&sem_param1=&sem_param2=&sem_campaignid=11726965133&sem_adgroupid=114106130819&sem_targetid=kwd-338396328653&sem_location=9046085&cipc=sem&cip=4419000368&gbraid=0AAAAAD6-gN_Z5h7L7dYSa4vw8MP1VNFmz&gclid=CjwKCAjwrJ-hBhB7EiwAuyBVXblTj876jmm6z9dCuyYZWfH2R6Mm3gkx8DbRegh0pHrBfdEPd3pFihoC59gQAvD_BwE Edited April 3, 2023 by SuzanneH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Z320 Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 Nothing for petrol heads, but if you carry some loved wifes with you, and want to offer them something else than driving miles, you could visit Furzey Gardens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Freer Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 Get in touch with the Wessex Group, there are many routes we organised that always ended up at a pub……. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnwill Posted April 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Thanks for all the suggestions. no date planned yet, but hopefully June this year John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G Denson Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Hi John As one of the founder members of the Wessex Group in 1972 I could organise a trip around the New Forest taking in some interesting sites. I have lived in the area for over 60 years so know the Forest with all it's nooks and crannies. Always willing to help. Accommodation wise, as said, try the Balmer Lawn,I don't think The Rising Sun in Bashley does not have any accommodation. The White Rose in Sway is good. On the budget side the Premier Inn in Hordle is OK and has The Three Bells pub next door. Elmers Court in Lymington is also one not to be missed. There are many hotels in the Forest just look on the internet for a list. I can let you know which is OK if you want. Sammy Millers is great,so is the Motor Museum ,even has a TR in it. There are lots of sites to keep everyone happy. Cheers, Gordon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnwill Posted April 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Just an update It seems one of our other members has booked for us to go to Norfolk, so thanks for all the input, It will be put to good use next year. Gordon, i'll contact you later this year if thats OK. It does give us more time at least, to get something organised. Thanks again all John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnwill Posted February 19 Author Report Share Posted February 19 As a refresh to this thread, Coventry group are touring the New Forest this june. woohoo !! We're staying at the Forest Park Hotel, Brockenhurst. Any updates on places to go etc are welcome (Sammy Miller's and Beaulieu are on the list) Thanks John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rcreweread Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 A visit to Tudor Wheels at Cadnam would I'm sure be interesting but you had better check with the proprietor, Richard Skinner, if he is happy to cope with the numbers ( if any of you need wire wheels refurbishing, take them with you ( if you can fit them in!)). The White Hart Cadnam is almost opposite and a good stop for lunch. Cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
