Description

The New Forest Centre is an essential part of your visit to the Forest. Set in the heart of the National Park in Lyndhurst, you’ll find a fascinating Museum, Visitor Information Centre, Gift Shop, Library, Exhibition Gallery and friendly staff to answer all your questions about the New Forest and how to best enjoy it.

The Museum is full of information and fun activities. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the Beaulieu Road Pony Sales and step back in time into our traditional Cob Cottage. Don’t miss our Family Fun Tree in the heart of the Museum. You can learn how to detect animals in our Poo Corner game, listen to the sounds of wild and commoner owned animals, marvel at gigantic creepy crawlies and indulge in some good old fashioned bark rubbing. You can even share your thoughts with us on what the Forest means to you by adding to our paper leaf mulch!

Upstairs in our unique reference library, we have the largest collection of printed material on the Forest on public access. Whether you’re a student, researcher or family historian you’ll be sure to find something here to fascinate you.

Once you’ve seen the Museum and visited our well stocked shop, you won’t be able to wait to get out into the Forest and when you’ve experienced it for yourself you’ll want to know more about it. The New Forest Centre is the perfect way to start and finish your visit to the New Forest National Park.
