Breamore (pronounced Bremmer) is a small unspoilt village oozing English heritage and history. The village is surrounded by resplendent countryside designated as an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Site of Special Scientific Interest, protected by conservation area status. Plenty of woods and countryside for walking. You might take in the river Avon which runs close by, and reputed to contain more species of fish than any other river in the UK.

The main draw to visitors in the area is Breamore House, a statuesque Elizabethan Manor House dating from 1583, whose estate included Breamore village. The house is privately owned, but open to the public and looks today,very much as it did all those centuries ago. The estate encompasses worker’s cottages and listed historic houses, an ancient corn mill and one of the best examples of a Saxon Church in the south of England. The whole village is a historical gem with some buildings and cottages from the 14th Century.

Another feature for Breamore, is a rather unusual turf maze called ‘Mizmaze’. You can get to it via a footpath near Breamore House. Historically the Mizmaze was used for fertility dancing on holy days back in Pagan times and later by monks for their penances. Breamore Mizmaze is well worth seeing and boasts one of only eight remaining turf mazes such as this, to survive in England today.

For a great meal, try the village’s pub - The Bat and Ball. Wholesome hearty dishes with some having the novelty of a South African twist. However, Breamore is only 2 miles from the town of Fordingbridge which has lots of restaurants, pubs and eateries and the beautiful cathedral city of Salisbury is only 8 miles away.

We visited the museum (with our dog) and enjoyed snacks at the cafe. Definitely worth visiting with an extensive collection of historic equipment and the food was very good too!

Rockbourne Roman Villa
(3 miles)

Take a step back in time to visit this Roman villa which was discovered in 1942 thanks to the remains of oyster shells and tiles.  Once excavated, the treasures kept coming with a mosaic floor and foundations making themselves apparent until the entire villa was uncovered, not to mention the remains of an Iron Age timber roundhouse as well.  Visit, explore, and see what you discover!

Expensive but worth it. Visited by 13 year old and Father. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. You need to be able to climb out of the water yourself and on to the equipment. You MUST be able to get your face wet without being scared! Please also note that there is no point in going to watch a family member take part in this activity - you cannot see from the viewing area.

August 2020


We only did the inflatable part of the park but it was great fun, plenty of time to get around the whole thing and do all the best bits over again until exhaustion takes hold! I strongly suggest getting there at least 20 minutes before your booked time though as we were essentially told off for arriving late even though we were there for the time we booked for.
