- First year under our belt!
We decided on the New Forest as my wife has always wanted to go there... and now we can't wait to go back!
The drive from East Kent was about 180 miles and was pleasant and without incident, other than the usual slight panic at huge unfamiliar roundabouts.
We had three nights at Holmsley and then three more at Long Meadow. Both sites had some very good points and some minor downsides but on the whole it was a really lovely first trip and we're looking forward to going off somewhere else.
Therein lies the problem: where do we go?
As I mentioned, we're in East Kent; we can only go in so many directions and everywhere nice seems very far away. We're kind-of looking at Devon and Cornwall next year, and maybe the Cotswolds sometime in the spring, but because we haven't travelled much before we don't really know where we would want to spend the time.
We like walking with the dogs along the coast here, and we all loved the forest, so could I possibly have some suggestions of must-visit places in southern England that we haven't thought of yet?
