One of England's oldest and most distinctive landscapes, designated as a National Park and an ancient royal hunting forest covering more than 200,000 acres of heath, ancient woodland, and open grazing land shared by New Forest ponies for centuries. The site places guests within the forest itself: accommodation units tucked into a woodland clearing with mature oak, birch, and fern understory providing the privacy and green-filtered light that make a New Forest stay distinctive. Each unit is equipped with wood-burning stove, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and outdoor living space including a fire pit. The self-catering format supports an independent, nature-oriented stay designed around the forest's own pace. The New Forest is a rewarding destination for slow travel: cycling through unenclosed woodland where ponies, cattle, and deer roam freely at any corner; walking the ancient drove roads and heath paths; visiting the market town of Lyndhurst or the coastal villages of Lymington and Beaulieu. Fernwood Glamping provides a wooded base from which to experience this landscape with genuine immersion rather than from a roadside caravan park. ## What it is like - New Forest ancient woodland: Glamping inside a royal forest designated in 1079. Ancient oak pollards, fern floors, and a thousand years of continuous woodland ecology. - Free-roaming New Forest ponies: The commoners' ponies, cattle, and deer wander freely. One of England's most distinctive living landscapes, visible from the site. - Forest cycle trail network: Hundreds of kilometres of gravel cycle tracks through ancient woodland. Some of the finest traffic-free cycling in England. - Fire pit in the forest: Evenings in a New Forest woodland clearing. Fire lit, trees lit by the glow, and the forest night sounds beginning. ## Ways to stay - Woodland Glamping Unit · From ~£120/night.
