The best time to visit Bisterne is during the late spring and summer months, from May to September, when the weather is at its most pleasant for exploring the New Forest and surrounding areas.During these months, you'll find warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours, making it ideal for outdoor activities like walking, cycling, and exploring the local villages. The New Forest is particularly beautiful in late spring when the gorse and hawthorn are in bloom, and in summer, when the ponies and cattle graze freely. This period also offers the best chance to enjoy events in nearby towns and villages.For those looking for a quieter experience with fewer crowds, early autumn in October can also be a lovely time to visit. The forest's colours begin to change, offering a different kind of beauty, and the weather can still be mild enough for comfortable outdoor excursions.
