It’s a traditional home on a quiet street, beautiful, warm, and cozy. We are in a small village with everything you'd need within a 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk. Coffee shop, restaurants, pub, post office, butcher, pharmacy, parks, and grocery stores. It takes 10 minutes to walk to the park. And there is a wooded forest just steps from our door. We are in a village called Verwood, 20 minutes from Bournemouth in Southern England.
20 minutes to the ocean with endless coastline activities and beaches.
10 minutes to the New Forest where you can experience the livestock that roam free…donkeys are my favourite. If you like cycling you can do that too in the New Forest.
25 min to Paultons Park & Peppa Pig World.
Search for fossils on the Jurassic Coast.
45 min to Stonehenge.
There is so much to do and see around here including...The Tank Museum, Monkey World, Corfe Castle, Swanage Steam Train, and Ocean Sauna Dips.
