We live in central southern England which is home to many areas of outstanding natural beauty, such as
The New Forest and Dorset. If you have time
to do some exploring click
here and enjoy some great pictures of the New Forest and West Dorset. These areas have a lot to offer, including idyllic
villages, thatched pubs and unlimited walks through the unspoilt forest. It's our view that many tourists and visitors to England
just head for London and miss the opportunity to see some of England's scenery and rural charm. Dorset is only two hours drive from
London and provides gentle and rewarding relaxation alongside the busy excitement of London.

One of our favourite destinations is the Isle of Wight
just off England's south coast, close to Southampton. On the Isle of Wight there are impressive
cliffs like The Needles, beautifully kept
quaint villages and good beaches. The ferry from Lymington takes you into Yarmouth which is a good starting point to explore the
island.
If you ever visit England, and time permits, do take a drive across to Dorset and
tour the West Dorset coast around Lulworth
Cove and see the 'real England'. Dorset
is fantastic and has some of the best coastal walks along
the south west coast of England. You can walk for miles from Lulworth Cove west along the 'South West Coast Path' over
impressive cliffs, stopping off at
St Oswald's Bay, Durdle Door
and Bat's Head along the way. It's best to wear good walking shoes as the Dorset cliff
climbs can be quite strenuous and slippery especially at Swyre Head.
