Ringwood remains a traditional market town on the outskirts of the New Forest. Thatched cottages still abound with a traditional market on Wednesdays. Also on Wednesdays, during the summer months, the famous Ringwood Brewery will allow you to tour the brew house to see the processes involved in producing one of the Forests favourite ales

Every year 13½ million people visit the New Forest, one of the UKs newest National Parks.
The New Forest is mainly in Hampshire, but also covers some of Wiltshire with many small villages dotted around the area.
About 5,000 animals belonging to Commoners are depastured in the New  Forest and controlled by the Verderers - about 3,000 are New Forest ponies and the remainder are predominantly cattle with a few donkeys. Pigs also roam the New Forest eating up the acorns which can be dangerous for the ponies.
