The New Forest
The East End Arms is situated in a beautiful part of the New Forest National Park – home to ponies, donkeys, cows and pigs (at certain times of the year) who roam freely. It is a very unique and special place. There are plenty of places to visit, and many things to do, including visiting museums, castles and gardens.
When visiting us in The New Forest we ask you respect the forest rules. Including not feeding or petting the animals, no BBQs and driving considerately near the animals. More information on the rules of the forest can be found below.
Forest

Looking over the mill pond at Beaulieu in Hampshire towards the famous Palace House is one of the most stunning views in the New Forest.

From the beach you have a direct view of the Isle of Wight and the Needles. Not too far away is Keyhaven – here you can sail, kayak, Kite surfer and paddle board. Hurst Castle is just a short boat ride away, or if you prefer, a walk up the spit.
