Moors Valley Country Park and Forest
Moors Valley is a brilliant place for a family day out, there really is something for everyone. Moors Valley is extremely dog friendly, you won’t be able to take them on the Steam Railway or Go Ape but they’re welcome on the play trail, cafe, gift shop etc.
On arrival, your numberplate is scanned using ANPR barriers, you’ll be charged on exit for car parking which is quite expensive but for the play trail alone, worth it.
Go Ape is on site, as well as suspended cargo nets for climbing in the Nets adventure, these are at extra cost and pre-booking is advised. Segway is also available, again, pre-booking via the website is advised. Nets Adventure age requirement is low at 1yr+.
The Ice Cream shack has a comprehensive selection of flavours, sundae combinations & pre-packaged ice lollies.
The Cafe, within the main building sells coffee, cake and a good selection of lunch foods. Only food purchased in the cafe can be eaten inside the cafe, however, there is no shortage of picnic facilities.
The play trail is one of the activities which sets Moors Valley apart from other New Forest activities, along a well thought out trail are multiple wooden play structures to break up a walk & keep little ones engaged. There is no time limit on how long you can spend on each one & these are at no extra cost. The trail is suitable for pushchairs and most mobility scooters. Seats and picnic tables are scattered throughout.
Half way along the play trail is the Tree Top Trail, 5 metres high & winding through the trees, the gradual climb and handrail throughout makes it accessible for most abilities and ages but not suitable for wheelchairs.
Moors Valley Railway is a miniature steam railway which run on a loop between Kingsmere Station and Lakeside Station for more details, see their website
