Food Scene

Great pub for a drink and serves good food. If staying on a Monday night do go up for their steak night (usually £10 per steak) In the summer months, walk up through the Hangers to The Hawkley.

Everyone's favourite pub! About a quarter of hour's drive away but worth the trip. Excellent food and Sunday lunches. Booking essential.

Good Thai restaurant either for eating in or take away. Petersfield is about a 5 minute drive from the farm (but not really walkable)

Parks & Nature

Great for walking or mountain biking (although the latter is mainly routes suitable for adults rather than children - for them to to Alice Holt) New adventure trail at the top of the hill and also a doggy agility course!

Right on our doorstep! Take a hike up to Edward Thomas's Poet's Stone on Shoulder of Mutton Hill. Fabulous views and worth the climb!

Great for families. Good playgrounds and lots of cycling routes especially suitable for children. Follow the Gruffalo Trail or "Go Ape" - there is both a junior and adult option. New cafe facilities or take a picnic.

Sightseeing

Fabulous day out with Nelson's flagship, HMS Victory, Henry VIII's warship, The Mary Rose and HMS Warrior. You can take a harbour tour, learn about the naval history of Portsmouth or, especially suitable for the children, go into Action Stations where they have climbing walls and Laser Quest. My kids love Boathouse Number 4 where you can have a go at climbing a mast! Can you ring the bell at the top?!

About a 45 minute drive, but the city of Arundel is well worth a visit. The castle has a variety of sight seeing options. We like to do the grounds and a visit to the Keep where the views are superb. They have a wonderful display of tulips in the spring. Just down the road is the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust - lots of ducks and geese to be seen, a couple of playgrounds for the kids and a boat ride to see the water voles.

If visiting the Historic Dockyard at Portsmouth, combine it with a visit to Gunwharf Quay. Great selection of shops, restaurants, cinema, bowling and The Spinnaker Tower, where on a clear day you can look out over the Isle of Wight and Hampshire.

Entertainment & Activities

It may be 45 minutes drive, but if you have young children you HAVE to go to Paultons Park! Home of Peppa Pig world (including 2 new rides for 2018), there is also a host of other rides suitable for older children (up to about age 11/12) Good cafes or take a picnic in the summer. Their Christmas Wonderland on November/December weekends is recommended

Arts & Culture

We are blessed with lots of National Trust properties nearby - Uppark, Petworth House and Mottisfont are all well worth a visit. The nearest though is Hinton Ampner. Not necessarily as beautiful as Mottisfont (which is my personal favourite), it nevertheless has lovely gardens (including an inspiring vegetable patch!) for kids to explore and, of course, has the obligatory National Trust cafe and shop. An easy afternoon out.
