Foxlease Park

Foxlease Park is a 63-acre estate on the edge of Lyndhurst in the New Forest, run by a charity after many years as a Girlguiding training centre. Families and groups can book instructor-led and self-led activities on the land and on the water, including archery, a climbing tower, a zip wire, tree climbing, tunnelling, orienteering, den building and pond dipping. Younger children have sessions suited to them, and there are soft-archery and mini-pioneering options for the smallest visitors. The site also hosts children's birthday parties with a choice of activities and a party tea. Accommodation, camping and afternoon teas are available for longer stays. The Georgian house itself is not yet open, so day visits focus on the grounds, woodland and activity fields. Booking ahead is needed for most sessions.
