Romantic Outdoor Date Ideas for Couples
1. Alpaca Walks
Sandy Ball’s permanent Alpaca residents for a stroll is a great way of sharing genuine belly laughs and photo opportunities galore.
Furry, friendly and sometimes stubborn, our Alpacas eventually lead you and your partner to an epic view of the New Forest’s beautiful sweeping hills and valley. A perfect Kodak moment for you both to enjoy next to a love heart bench (located at ‘Good Friday Hill’ on the map).
After you arrive back to Acorn Place, the heart of Sandy Balls, why not indulge in a cocktail or two at Aubrey’s forest kitchen and bar. Alternatively head back to your lodge for a bottle of bubbly while relaxing in your hot tub soaking up the New Forest views.
