Hampshire's delightful national park ticks so many boxes for kids, from tasty home grown treats, to cute ponies and woody glades waiting to be explored. Family campsites in the New Forest will get the kids excited about nature and then there's the Exbury Steam Railway and Buckler's Hard to explore. Even if the heavens open, all's not lost with Paultons Park and revving up at Beaulieu's National Motor Museum to keep their eyes shining
