I’ve only been there once that I remember, when I was 16.
I used to be a reasonably good windsurfer and a teacher took a group of us down to windsurf in the harbour and sea. I think there were 5 of us and we stayed in a nice cottage somewhere in the new forest.
I think I went on a caravan holiday there once. I mostly remember watching the Earthworm Jim cartoon on TV every morning, and going to the beach somewhere most days.
Moors Valley is amazing, a very high percentage of my best childhood memories come from there. The trains! The huge awesome sculptures! The treetop walk! The trains! Totally unrealistic standard-setting for other country parks tbh (I’m looking at you, Itchen Valley, which is basically just a field and a wood).
Used to go to a preschool at a place called christchurch in colchester and when people mentioned going on holiday to Christchurch I always thought they were going to my preschool
It really is! If you think about the car parking as an entrance fee it’s ridiculously cheap too- £8 for a day’s entertainment (maybe £20 if you factor in a train ride)
