Summer memories – Buckler’s Hard, New Forest East, Hampshire,Ā UK

Buckler’s Hard is a hamlet on the banks of the Beaulieu River in the English county of Hampshire. With its Georgian cottages running down to the river, Buckler’s Hard is part of the 9,000-acre Beaulieu Estate. The hamlet is some 2.5 miles south of the village of Beaulieu.Ā Wikipedia

We took the trip to this amazing place last summer, and I loved the scenery. We were walking down the village passing well-uniformed cottages saluting on both sides of the village. Some of the cottages were transformed into small museums, which you shouldn’t miss visiting.

The atmosphere inside these museums is stunning. You will hear people talking in the background which will draw you back to the 18th century. Men chatting in the Inn, baby crying in the crib, parents having a discussion about their kids, and so much more. I was impressed by the details you will see in the pictures below. The composition of the characters, food, and daily items. I just felt I want to stay and listen and look and enjoy the moment, but our two little ones had different plans šŸ˜
Since we promised them a boat ride, it was time to move on and keep the promise.
Finishing our little trip with an ice cream treat, I do believe, everyone was satisfied.

Summer memories – Paultons Park, New Forest, Hampshire, UK

If you are a person, who have kids or carrying that kid inside yourself, this place is just the right thing for you. We couldn’t even explore the whole amusement park, as we booked only a one day ticket, but those hours, we spent at Paultons Park were worth it.

Btw. one of the greatest things about this park are, Kids under 1m go free!

Our main theme, we were aim to visit and give it as a BD present to our 3yo son and his brother was the Peppa Pig World.

Here are few main facts about Paultons Park:

Paultons is the UK’s number 1 family theme park — located in Hampshire with over 70 exciting rides and attractions, set within 140 acres of beautiful parkland on the edge of the New Forest National Park. Paultons is also home of the UK’s only Peppa Pig World with 9 fun Peppa-themed rides, great for an amazing day out with the kids.

Enjoy roller coasters, thrill rides, family rides, indoor and outdoor play areas, water splash parks, entertainments and an astonishing collection of birds and animals at our amusement park. (source Paultons Park website)

To avoid any disapointment, I would just add, some of the rides are limited to certain height,

so our younger one couldn’t go with me on the George’s Dinosaur Adventure (which broke my hearth, because this would be his favourite one). I chose the picture below, so you can see his little finger pointing on his older brother and daddy. I am glad, he is not very demanding and didn’t cry to get on the ride.

Some of the attractions will offer a ride photography, which you can then purchase at the small outdoor stalls. These are not the cheapest though 😊

The park offers rides for older kids and adults as well, but these come with more restrictions, so we will maybe try these, when our boys will be a little bit older.

If you decided to take a break from the rides, the park offers beautiful spots such as Little Africa, Tropical Birds, Gardens and Outdoor Playgrounds.

We will definitely have to visit again and explore the rest of the park in the future 😊

Summer memories – New Forest, Hempshire

I remember my very first visit to New Forest, and I was amazed, how huge and beautiful this place is. All you can see is the fresh greenery, wild horses walking or resting alongside the road, cows and sheep chowing on the juicy grass.

You will love driving through the shaded pats, passing the farms with thatched cottages, and enjoying the peace, this picturesque countryside will offer.

I will introduce in pictures and words few of the unique attraction, we visited this summer during our short and longer stays.

Here is a little spoiler in pictures, and in my next few posts, I will introduce each place indivitually.
