planning a Visit to the new forest?

---

This document provides potential visitors to the New Forest with information to help you plan a visit, especially if you are intending to research your family heritage and walk in the footsteps of your brave relatives who served at one of the New Forest World War 2 Airfields.

It is  not a detailed tourist guide, many of those already exist, but rather it aims to provide practical advice from those who live in, and know the area, and what it has to offer.

It tries to help you answer some of the questions that I am frequently asked:

• When should I visit the New Forest?
• How can I get to the New Forest?
• Where should I stay in the New Forest?
• Do I need a car to visit the airfields?
• How long do I need to stay in the New Forest?
• How easy is it to combine a visit to the New Forest and Normandy?
• Where can I get more information?
