Find out what makes the Forest so special at the New Forest Heritage Centre. The Museum is great for families and there's a Gallery, Reference Library, Gift Shop and Cafe too!
Great museum, donations welcome. Set within the carpark. Cafe is relaxing with music in the background. Plenty of cakes for Gluten free diets and something for vegans. Both cakes In photos are gluten and dairy free. Top marks for the caramel one. Lots of choices for food and drinks. Prices are average for the area.
Lovely place to visit lots to see! Nice cafe and extensive gift shop, museum fantastic embroidery celebrating 900yrs of the New Forest created by William The Conqueror made in 1979 by 60 Embroiderers definitely worth a family visit in Lyndhurst!!
It was a lovely shop, with cafe. Unfortunately didn't go in the museum as was going on a open top bus tour, which I would throughly recommend. Shop is very clean and friendly helpful staff, I brought a beautiful bronze horse, and as well as the bus tour my husband, son and I had a lovely cream tea, which was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend a visit.
A nice, compact museum that gave an overview of the history of the New Forest, dating back many hundreds of years, detailing land right traditions and suchlike, and a feel for the contemporary lifestyles of people living in the area. We also stopped at the cafe for a coffee and cake - the lattes were large and creamy, with the beans clearly being of high quality, and the cake was an equal match. The best we had in the New Forest during our stay.
Wonderful place to visit. Great little gift shop and cafe. The staff were wonderful and helpful also. The museum was particularly enjoyable, our 8,6 &4 year old loved it. You have to try and slow them down a bit so they don't plough through it in 5 mins but if you stop to read everything then it takes a while. Definitely worth popping in.
There is a gift shop, small museum and cafe. On arrival asked to use the hand sanitiser that they provide. The gift shop has many souvenirs if you come on holiday (like I did) and all were reasonably priced. Museum was very good to learn about the local history. Did not order anything from the cafe but looked clean and tidy.
