Mudeford

Have recently spent a weekend in the lovely New Forest area of southern England. I have been here a few times and its well worth a trip. We rented a house in the little village of Mudeford , just a few hundred metres from the old Quay. I would recommend the old fishermans inn ‘The Haven Inn’ for food and a few drinks. Its a pretty little quayside with some very old houses. Day trips are possible by ferry to nearby Hengistbury head. Nearby, the towns of Christchurch and New Milton have plenty shops as does the very old world town of Lymington, with its pretty cobbled streets. We travelled by Aer Lingus to Southampton Airport , about 40 minutes away.

All along the coast are great views of ‘The Needles’, the rocks at the western end of the Isle of Wight. Ferries to the island run frequently from Lymington. The island itself is a bit like stepping back in time to an era with a  slower pace of life. Lots of visitor attractions on the island to keep all ages/interests happy.Check it out !!
