It's not just any forest that edges Forest Edge Holiday Park. As you might guess from its location in Hampshire's Ringwood, it's near the New Forest, the ancient and woody expanse that was once the hunting ground of kings. The park has access to Hurn Forest which is in turn two miles from the New Forest – and as you might know if you have kids, Peppa Pig can be found around these parts too. Forest Edge is on nine acres of grassland and has level, well-drained pitches near the site's water point. Each pitch is individually marked and has space for an awning, sun loungers and barbecue if you want to bring these along – do go on... The site has a seasonal shop with off-licence, Calor gas service, public phones, a launderette and free showers. Please note that as Forest Edge is just off the A31, some pitches may experience traffic noise.
