As well as beautiful footpaths and cycle paths, visitors can enjoy fishing at Riverside Park and horse riding. Fordingbridge boasts historical features which date back to the Neolithic period, as well as a Norman church; and the New Forest remains delightfully uncommercial, with independent shops and boutiques in villages and towns.
