Denny Wood

Denny Wood (or Matley Wood across the road)


Both sites are small intimate sites and in each you have to use your own facilities.

Denny Wood does not allow pets.


We prefer to use Denny Wood as it does have some hardstandings next to the road.


Denny Wood is a great alternative to do the cycle ride to Beaulieu and Bucklers Hard and also to Brockenhurst.


It is also possible to cycle to Lyndhurst which is about 3 miles away.  You basically take the road in the site southwards and turn right and head through the forest. It comes out onto the A337 and you have to turn right into the town.


Lyndhurst, the gateway to the Forest is a pleasant town though it does suffer from heavy traffic in the summer. It also has the New Forest Visitors Centre which will help you plan your visit to the Forest.
