MJ Holiday Caravans at Hoburne Bashley Park

This week a friend and I had a trip around some of the local attractions on Bashley's doorstep.

Our first visit was a 2 mile drive from Hoburne Bashley Park  to Hordle Lakes, an eleven acre site with 7 spring-fed lakes filled with carp, tench etc. and where you can purchase day or night fishing permits.    See their website www.hordle-lakes.co.uk for more information.

After visiting the lakes we drove through Bashley village, stopping off at Redcliffe Garden Centre and Burley Villa School of Riding where you can go for a hack out into the forest.  The stables offers both 'traditional' or 'western trail' riding.    www.burleyv@globalnet.co.uk. 

Our next stop was at The Rising Sun public house which is an excellent place to take the family for a meal when holidaying at Hoburne Bashley Park.   It has a large garden and play area to keep the children amused while you have a well-earned drink.

Just a bit further on is Wootton Bridge where you will find a small stream always very popular in the summer for paddling in.

Next stop was at Ferndale Farm Shop which I would recommend you go to for all your barbeque meats, salad and fruit - it is all excellent quality and very good value.

Our last stop of the morning was at Sammy Miller's Museum in Bashley Cross Road which also has a couple of craft shops and a tea room, which serves snacks, lunches, cream teas and Sunday roasts.   www.sammymiller.co.uk
