Booked into the CC site at Longleat in July for a couple of weeks. Never been to this area before what are the things not to be missed? I'm to old to know everything......

Bath is nice, Stonehenge is within easy reach and the Fleet Air Arm museum at Yeovilton is interesting. If you're going with kids though, you may not actually leave Longleat

Take your bikes and ride along the Kennet and Avon canal tow path. If not you can hire them in Bradford on Avon.
Bath's great: Roman Baths, Fashion museum, Jane Austin museum, top end shops, great restaurants and theatre.
Salisbury is OK. The cathedral is pretty impressive.
New Forest: 40mins away. Very pretty and the kids love to see the animals roaming wild. Great for cycling. Lymington is pretty, has a good Saturday market and you can get a ferry to the IOW. Also there is Beaulieu Motor Museum which is pretty good.

How long to get to the ferry for the IOW? I'm to old to know everything......

Great site when everyone has left the park you have the run of the grounds to just the people on the site. Bit unearving sat out with the BBQ in the evening and you can hear the lions etc roaring  If you have young kids you used to be able to get a pass that allowed you into the facilities. The pass was one that once you had been into each area it was crossed off, but if you did not do everything that visit you could go back years later and still use the ones you had left.

Longleat to Lymington about and hour and 20.
If you do go then the best way down is to avoid the Lyndhurst bottleneck by going via Emery Cross and Rhododendron Drive (past Rhinefield House hotel) into the back of Brockenhurst then straight down to Lymington.
I've sent you a pm with a google map route that takes you past all the bottlenecks that the tourists don't know!

The best way of staying at Longleat is to find a CC Centre that's doing a rally. We stayed there a good few years ago and were on the edge of the lake. The hippos came up each evening and were about 30ft from our caravan (the other side of a fence). They are much cheaper than the site and it better spots.
