Welcome to Walking Picnics
Nigel and Christine invite you to come and explore the New Forest with Walking Picnics. We will lead you on a guided nature walk through the forest, pointing out the amazing wildlife and history of the place, then we will finish with a home-produced gourmet picnic. All this costs £20 per adult, for both the walk and picnic. Get together as a group of six or more, and we can arrange a bespoke Walking Picnic for your party.
Nigel leads the walks, which usually last about two hours, and we walk around three or four miles, stopping to admire the view. Nigel is a keen birdwatcher, with a good knowledge of the local flora and fauna. If you have a pair of binoculars, do bring them, as there are plenty of birds and animals to spot. We recommend strong shoes or boots, as we will be walking over rough ground, which can get muddy.
Christine is in charge of the picnics, which always include some of her home baked bread and cakes, and also use local seasonal produce. We serve a three course picnic, with a light starter, home-made pies or quiches, and a choice of cakes or puddings. Our Summer season of regular walks run from May to September, and at other times of the year we run occasional special events on request. As we prepare all the food specifically for each picnic, please reserve your place by 9am on the day before!

A Walking Picnic just for you (and your friends)
In addition to the programme of themed walks which anyone can book on as an individual, we are offering to arrange private walks for any group of a minimum of six adults. So, find yourself a few friends, and have your own Walking Picnic - we can make sure it fits your needs, and make sure the picnic includes some of your favourite food. Send us an email with what you are looking for, and we'll discuss with you what we can offer.
 Our local Fallow Deer herd are often seen on our walks ...
