Lyndhurst, often referred to as the 'Capital of the New Forest', is steeped in legend and literary history. Just moments from the property, discover the famous Bolton’s Bench – a prominent grassy knoll with sweeping views, said to be where the infamous Bisterne Dragon met its end at the hands of brave Sir Maurice de Berkeley and his loyal hounds. This picturesque landmark is perfect for leisurely walks and picnics, with the ever-curious New Forest ponies grazing contentedly nearby.

For lovers of culture and literature, Lyndhurst holds a splendid secret. It was here that Lewis Carroll found his muse when, while relaxing on Bolton’s Bench, he watched a rabbit vanish into its burrow-a sight that inspired the timeless tale of Alice in Wonderland. The enchanting connection continues at the historic St Michael and All Angels Church, the final resting place of Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration behind Carroll’s beloved character.

The thriving village centre awaits with a wonderful selection of independent cafés, restaurants, boutique shops, and traditional pubs. Lyndhurst’s central position places the very best of the New Forest right on the doorstep, offering unrivalled opportunities for walking, cycling, and exploring the charming neighbouring villages.
