The Surrounding Area

The New Forest is a most gorgeous part of the UK. It is filled with wonderful walks, cycle paths, meandering rivers and inviting country pub to suit everyone. Horses, cows and donkeys can often be seen standing or walking along the roadsides, and there are activities for all the family, no matter what their age. This lovely setting is also the home of AOI, offering international visitors a chance, not only to study is an inviting setting, but also to allow those who wish to extend their visit, a chance to see some beautiful British countryside, not to mention the glorious adjoining coastline.

Hampshire and Dorset also have the most idyllic coastline, which sports everything from river to sea waterways, (ideal for stand-up paddle boards and canoes), to soft sandy beaches to enjoy the more relaxed moments of your stay. Below is a link to Visit Hampshire, but do remember to check out google too, as the New Forest is right on the boarder of East Dorset, so there is much to explore.
