Top 10 Things To Do, Activities and Attractions in Mudeford

"Costs vary dependent on type of person but range from £9 to £76. Take an open-top safari through magical landscapes… Enjoy grandstand views of the New Forest National Park – wandering ponies, pretty villages and magical landscapes. Hop on and off wherever you like and catch the next Tour, or switch between routes, all on the same ticket!"

"Also in Beaulieu is one of the country’s best museum’s devoted to another form of transport: motoring. Driving a car might be something you can only do when you reach 17, but that doesn’t stop the National Motor Museum from appealing to kids."

"There’s farmyard fun for the whole family at Longdown Activity Farm. Join in with a daily schedule of hands-on activities such as bottle-feeding kid goats and calves, and The Animal Encounter Barn. Lots of friendly farm animals to meet and plenty of indoor and outdoor play equipment too!"

"It has all the farm animals you’d expect from a working farm that you can feed and help look after. They have great indoor activities as well for raining days like a soft play and smaller handheld animals."

"As the main beach in town, this sandy stretch of the coast is home to the Bournemouth Pier – complete with zip wire – and Bournemouth’s Oceanarium. The pier offers both indoor and outdoor activities for the whole family – RockReef climbing walls and high ropes for the adventurous, a family entertainment centre and the popular Key West Bar & Grill. Check out the beach for spacious stretches of golden sands, which have even been awarded the Blue Flag for safety and cleanliness, as well as many cafés, bars, restaurants and attractions nearby."

"Named the best beach in the United Kingdom, the Central Beaches are the pride and joy of the town. Stroll 10 minutes through the Lower Gardens and you’ll reach Pier Approach, the gateway to the action. Heaving in the summer time, scramble for a patch of golden sand to plant your towel on and bask in the sun."

"Yet it has some kind of uniqueness that manages to attract visitors from all over the world. Stretching from Hengistbury Head to Poole, this beautiful beach is covered with golden sand making the blue shoreline more prominent from a distance. The best part of this beach is it is a dog-fri...Read more"

"If you don’t have time for the full town walls walk, you must check out Bargate. This is the impressive north entrance to the medieval section of Southampton. Full of character and heritage, it is a true must-see when visiting Southampton."

"The startling, fractured battlements of one of Dorset's most famous landmarks were once home to Sir John Bankes, Charles I’s right-hand man. The Civil War saw the castle besieged by Cromwellian forces; in 1646 the plucky Lady Bankes directed a six-week defence and the castle fell only after being betrayed from within. The Roundheads then gunpowdered Corfe Castle apart; turrets and soaring walls still sheer off at precarious angles – the splayed-out gatehouse looks like it's just been blown up."

"After a hearty breakfast at the hotel, jump in the car and make a beeline for Corfe Castle, one of Dorset’s most famous monuments. Built by William the Conqueror over 1,000 years ago, the history embedded within these ruins is palpable, and the views afforded by such a prime vantage point are certainly photo-worthy. Children will appreciate the model village, which shows what the Castle would have looked like before it was partly destroyed during the English Civil War."

"Once you are done, go back to the car and drive to Corfe where you can once again park for free* at Castle. You can then walk up the castle ruins and enjoy the view from there. It’s pretty impressive. But once you are in Corfe, don’t forget to go to the train station for a short time travel when a on old-style train will pass by."

"The Lower Garden is at the bottom of a three-kilometre string of green spaces on the course of the Bourne, and is five minutes from the main beach and pier, and five minutes from Bournemouth’s main shopping area. In summer you could while away a few minutes in the shade of the tall cedars and pines, and there’s also a crazy golf course, an aviary, the Pinewalk Bandstand and an outdoor art exhibition. At the end of August the Candlelight Nights is a century-old tradition, when thousands of tea lights are arranged in imaginative designs."

"A post shared by Clare Willats (@thebunnyandthefish) on Jun 30, 2020 at 10:48am PDT. Bournemouth’s full of green spaces that are great for exploring. The Lower Gardens are next to the town centre, but they feel quiet and sedate, so they’re a great spot to relax."

"Clarence Pier has a classic seaside arcade and rides, including an iconic ferris wheel overlooking the Solent. Spend the day playing crazy golf or ten-pin bowling. Grab some candy floss and enjoy one of the largest amusement parks on the South Coast."

"Next on my list of things to do in Portsmouth, it’s Clarence Pier. This is a classic choice for things to do in Portsmouth – the nostalgic arcade/amusement pier!. That’s what you’ll find there, lots of games, rides, and fun family stuff."

"One of the town’s most well-known features is the traditional Sandown Pier. Here you will find a range of traditional amusements and arcade games, which will keep both adults and children entertained for hours. In addition to this Sandown features a large assortment of pubs and restaurants, perfect for an evening meal."

"Relax in the Tudor House and Garden (pictured above) on Bugle Street with your family away from the hustle and bustle of Southampton’s city centre. The Grade I listed building is a historic site, museum and tourist attraction all rolled into one. In fact, when the museum was first established in 1912, it was regarded at the oldest in Southampton."

"Located on the Esplanade, Bill’s has the perfect outdoor seating area for you to relax and devour some of their delicious dishes. Their menu is bursting with flavour and fresh ingredients, from seafood to seasonal vegetables. Don’t miss their delicate tasting Pan-Fried Sea Bass – it’s served with a refreshing pea and basil pesto risotto, making it the perfect summer dish!"
