🍂 Autumn is on the way in the New Forest! 💜🐴

A lovely walk around Horseshoe Bottom today, enjoying the beautiful New Forest scenery. So many ponies were out making the most of the mild weather, and it was wonderful to see the blanket of heather slowly forming, bringing those gorgeous rich shades of purple across the landscape. 🌿💜

There’s something so special about this time of year in the Forest — the first hints of autumn are beginning to appear, but there’s still plenty of summer warmth to enjoy. 🍂

If you fancy escaping to the New Forest, Acorn Lodge at Shorefield Country Park makes the perfect base. Just a 10-minute walk to the beach, with beautiful walks right on the doorstep and plenty of places to explore with your four-legged friends. 🐾❤️

✨ Autumn stays are available, and bookings are now being taken for 2027.

😂 Just another day in the New Forest! 🐴🦄

When the locals decide they’ve got right of way… and apparently road rules don’t apply to horses! 🚗🐎

🚦 No traffic lights
🚧 No roadworks
🐴 Just a couple of New Forest residents casually strolling down the middle of the road!

Come and experience the New Forest for yourself… where you never quite know who you’ll meet around the next corner! 🌳💚

I couldn't resist sharing this photo of three beautiful, playful New Forest foals we spotted yesterday! 🐴💚

Moments like these are what make a visit to the New Forest so special. Seeing the free-roaming ponies and their foals in their natural environment is something you'll never forget.

If you're visiting, please help protect these wonderful animals by following the New Forest Code. Drive carefully, stay alert, and remember the 40 mph speed limit (or lower where signed). A few extra minutes on your journey can make all the difference.

If you're looking for a relaxing getaway where encounters like this are just around the corner, Acorn Lodge at Shorefield Country Park is the perfect base for exploring the New Forest and the nearby coast. 🌳🌊

One of the many things that makes the New Forest so special is that it's not just the famous ponies you'll come across. 🐴❤️

It's always a pleasure to see the donkeys, pigs, cows and ponies roaming freely through the forest, just as nature intended.

On our latest walk we came across this lovely group of cows enjoying a drink before helping themselves to the leaves from the trees – a wonderful reminder that every visit to the New Forest is different.

If you've never experienced the magic of the New Forest, why not make it your next getaway? Our cosy holiday lodge is the perfect base for exploring this beautiful part of the country. Follow our page for more local wildlife, scenic walks and holiday inspiration.
