July 2021
Lovely country park. Very interesting play structures for the kids set during a lovely forest walk - with an excellent high tree walk for all ages. no entrance fee - just pay for parking. The park has an excellent miniature railway - really well supported and maintained - it has a really extensive layout with realistic signalling. It is operated like a real railway. Great fun. Food available - but in times of social distancing it was really busy with queues which is understandable. All in all a fab place to visit - kids loved it. There is also a Go Ape centre at the park for additional cost - but outside the age range for our kids so we didn't try this.
July 2021
Lovely place for a visit either for walking or cycling. Great for kids

Nice beach with good facilities
April 2023
Beautiful beach, lots of sand for youngsters- definitely been high on our favourites list, for more than 30 years and still is now the 'children' are nearly 30! - well worth the drive from New Forest. The Noisy Lobster is great and now has an 'outdoor upstairs' too. The Beach Cafe, half-way along, is excellent too- used to do very good carrot cake! The connecting beach towards Steamer Point is dog-friendly all year which is a bonus. Walking to the quay end, you can catch the ferry to Hengistbury Head which is beautiful beach too and often quieter (top favourite!) Even this last week (JULY 2021) the 'kids' wanted to crab-fish from Mudeford Quay!!
