What to do this Easter in the New Forest For Families?

Planning an escape with the children this Easter? Easter is a great time to visit the New Forest for families, this is a list of top 5 things to do with your children:

  1. Free in the New Forest
    Let the children run wild in the New Forest. Why not dam a stream, climb a fallen tree or just run in 94,000 acres of forest and open moorland unchanged for 1000 years?
