Today we had no idea what to do for entertainment so we went to the campground office and looked at some brochures. We discovered there was a large wildlife park in the New Forest so that was where we headed.
This was the best wildlife park we have visited so far. It was huge. It also turned out to be the sister park to the Chestnut Centre in the Peak District. The enclosures were huge and well designed and everything in them was about mental stimulation for the animal.
The otters were absolutely cool. (I want one!) They also had wolves and a family of Iron Age pigs and their enclosures were absolutely massive. Once again I took heaps of photos of things we could do at home.
We were there a couple of hours and it was definitely money well spent.
Lunch we had in a large pull in area in the New Forest somewhere. Unfortunately there were no ponies around but we did manage to accost another couple with a dog!
The heat this week has been absolutely cranking it and today was possibly the hottest so far. Honestly, you would think it was the middle of summer.
Mid afternoon we arrived at Lyndsey’s in Marchwood. She’d very kindly agreed to put us up for 2 nights.
