Have yourself a drive around Lyndhurst,Lymington,Cadnam ,Bartley Windsor Romsey Nomandsland if you want to see the New Forest countryside how do i know ,i was brought up in that area 1929-1948 i went to school at Copythorne and Bartley Senior School used to walk 3miles to Copythorne school in all weathers that was the infants school then later on i used to cycle to Bartley Senior School..My father had found an old cycle frame and bought s/hand wheels and all other bits to make up my first bike he painted it green for my xmas present,new items were unheard of,this was back in the 1930ties another recession,sorry this is getting me away from your holiday,enjoy Fordingbridge and Chandlers Ford is just down the road and of course you are not far from the coast,enjoy yourselves..regards sunnyvic Memories..
