BASINGSTOKE, U.K. - May 15, 2019 - PRLog -- Head for the New Forest this Whitsun Half Term by train and help to save the planet, whilst saving pounds at the same time as kids go free!

From 19 May until 2 June, the special promotion is available for one adult and one or two accompanying children aged 5 to 15 (for full T&Cs CLICK HERE (https://www.southwesternrailway.com/destinations-and-offers/offers/kids-go-free)).

Brockenhurst in the heart of the New Forest is just 89 minutes from London Waterloo and Cyclexperience Bike Hire (https://www.thenewforest.co.uk/things-to-do/cyclexperience-bike-hire-p779951)  is right by the station (they even have electric bikes in case you run out of puff!).

The forest is famous for its 100 miles of off-road tracks (perfect for nervous bikers and families) and there are plenty of other hire centres including  Forest Leisure Cycling (https://www.thenewforest.co.uk/things-to-do/forest-leisure-cycling-p779971) at Burley, and The Woods Cyclery (https://www.thenewforest.co.uk/things-to-do/the-woods-cyc...) near Lyndhurst, as well as a couple of others dotted around, which you can find here (https://www.thenewforest.co.uk/things-to-do/cycling/cycle...).

There are seven other stations serving the entire length of the forest or, alternatively,  National Express coaches stop at Ringwood and regularly travel from central London (from Victoria Coach Station).

The New Forest is home to some of the UK's best holiday parks which is the perfect accommodation for families; they have lots of options from large caravans to luxury lodges with hot tubs.  The parks also have their own indoor and outdoor swimming pools and plenty of other activities for kids (they also have luxury spas so mum and dad can also enjoy a treat).

At night, the parks have a full programme of entertainment with singing, dancing and live bands (the entertainment for toddlers takes place early evening).

Here are some suggestions of places to stay this half term:
