There is plenty to do when you visit Moors Valley country park and it is a fabulous day out for all the family. Entrance to the park is free of charge but you do have to pay for car parking. Attractions in the park incur an additional cost. Parking your car in the enormous parking area is a maximum of £8 for the entire day. Pretty good value for money really when you consider that you could easily spend the whole day in the park.
After parking your car in the spacious well hidden woodland car park and you enter further into Moors Valley you can breathe in the beauty of this country park – it really is lovely. The visitors centre is on approach to the park and this is a well blended 18th century barn that includes a restaurant and gift shop.
Close by to the 18th century visitors centre you will find a large play area for small and bigger children. Its spacious and very safe. Parents can help and watch their children from a safe distance and rest a while, while the children burn off their excess energy.
The steam railway just behind the Visitors Centre is one of the best in the country. The ride takes about 20 minutes and during this ride you take in a number of tunnels and pass by the central lake. A complete joy for all of the family.
An energetic way to get around Moors Valley if it something that suits you and your family is to hire a bike. Often you wish you had one of those bike carriers on your car – well here at this park you can hire one from the many available in the hire store. There are miles and miles of well mapped cycling paths here and it’s a great way to see the beauty of the park.
A great experience for the over 12’s and fairly fit is the ‘Go Ape’ experience. Go Ape is an experience of truly high wire acts in the tree tops and lasts for about 2 hours. This is great fun, truly energetic, a bit scary and a marvellous experience. Definitely not for the unfit and pre-booking is essential as very popular.
The play trail is marvellous for the children to get around the park having loads of fun on the wooden play features. This is an adventure and a half! Half way round is a tree top (not Go Ape) trail about 5 metres above the ground which all of the family can enjoy and then more wooden play equipment for the remainder of the trail.
After a day out at Moors Valley Country Park you can be sure that the entire family will have lots of fun. You can return to your New Forest holiday accommodation after having a fun filled, energetic, packed day and knowing that all will sleep extremely well that night.
If you fancy a rest the next down the city of Southampton is also only a short drive away and you can find information on the Southampton website
