About 9 miles away, this National Trust property and gardens is one of our absolute favourites. There is often a trail on for children but if not the play park is usually open as is the water pump feature which kids love. The cafe sells lovely cakes and the ice-creams are a must!

A beautiful costal flat walk or a circular route that takes you to Mudeford spit a sandy beach famous for its beach houses. A great option for buggies and scooters, dog friendly as well. If tired legs for the way back to the car park you can hop on the overland train.

A real favourite with locals and recently refurbished. The inside is tiny but there is a large beer garden and a marquee at the back. Lovely walk/ cycle from our house into the woods onto the tracks that lead to Hamptworth.
