just a quick post before i visit holmsley next week, just wondered if anyone had any tips for this site and the new forest in general. such as:

site layout, wheres the best place to pitch on this site?

any villages/pubs/shops in walking distance? if not, cycling or short drive?

best places to visit in the area - cycling distance perhaps?

would really appreciate some tips before we go away thanks guys

Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!

Never stayed on Holmsley. To see the best of the forest get away from the main areas. I don't cycle so not sure of the cycle routes but as there are some great walk books my fav being Walk The New Forest by Jill Brown and David Skelhon, I am sure there will be something with good cycle routes. A really nice pub is at Sway not to far from Holmsley called the Hare and Hounds. If you like wildlife try going for a walk or ride at dusk. Both Ornamental Drives are good for deer and owls. Have a great time.
