DAY 2<br />
9.30AM – PEPPA AT THE PARK<br />
Inject some excitement into your morning by<br />
heading to Paultons Park – voted the UK’s number<br />
one family theme park by TripAdvisor. As well as<br />
being home to the world’s first Peppa Pig World,<br />
with seven Peppa-themed rides, there are more<br />
than 70 exhilarating rides and attractions to<br />
enjoy. Those looking for more of an adventure<br />
should check out the Lost Kingdom, a Jurassicthemed<br />
attraction, home to the mighty flight of<br />
the Pterosaur suspended rollercoaster, the thrilling<br />
Velociraptor coaster and life-like moving dinosaurs.<br />
12PM – GLORIOUS GARDENS<br />
You don’t have to be a keen gardener or an<br />
enthusiastic horticulturalist to appreciate the natural<br />
beauty and vibrant colours at Exbury Gardens. From<br />
the world-famous displays of rhododendrons, azaleas<br />
and camellias, to riverside walks, art exhibitions and<br />
discovery trails, there’s plenty to do and see. You can<br />
explore on foot, by chauffeur-driven buggy or travel on<br />
the steam railway and then enjoy the riverside views<br />
with a picnic or tea and cake from the tea rooms.<br />
1.30PM – BEHIND THE BREWERY<br />
A day of exploring makes for thirsty work, so head<br />
to the famous Ringwood Brewery which produces<br />
popular ales, including Forty Niner, Boon Doogle and<br />
Razor Back. Take a tour around the brewery, where<br />
you can taste the malted barleys, have a sniff of the<br />
hops, and see the fermentations bubbling away in the<br />
TunRoom. A tasting session is included and you can<br />
also browse the brewery store which is packed with<br />
gifts, goodies, and great bottled and draught beers.<br />
3.30PM – NATURE AT ITS BEST<br />
It’s your last chance to make the most of your<br />
surroundings, so make your way to the New Forest<br />
National Park. This truly unique area has a huge<br />
diversity of rare animals and plants – one of the<br />
reasons why it was made a national park in 2005.<br />
The stunning landscape is shaped by the grazing<br />
of ponies, cattle and pigs that roam freely and<br />
it’s one of the last places in southern <strong>En</strong>gland to<br />
really offer a sense of wildness and tranquillity.<br />
Choose to explore on foot, horseback or by bike.<br />
8PM – FRESH FISH<br />
Book direct flights to<br />

Finish your trip in style at the award-winning fish<br />
restaurant, Verveine Fishmarket Restaurant. Based<br />
in the south of the New Forest, this innovative<br />
establishment has its own in-house fishmongers and<br />
is headed by chef David Wykes. David takes inspiration<br />
for his dishes from nostalgic experiences of a<br />
childhood growing up in the seaside town of Hastings,<br />
the best freshest ingredients from the land and sea<br />
and the natural beauty of the local environment.<br />
