Situated in the heart of the New Forest in Bashley, the Rising Sun is a historic boozer worth visiting. Step inside this dog-friendly watering hole, where you'll be met with panelled walls, wood features and a cosy fireplace for the cooler months. And when the sun's shining? There's also a fabulous beer garden.

If you're feeling peckish, be sure to get stuck into a delicious range of hearty plates. Whether you're in the mood for melt-in-the-mouth lamb shank accompanied by winter vegetables or wholetail scampi with chips, peas and plenty of tartare sauce, this den has plenty to choose from. As for drinks, opt for an ice-cold pint of the good stuff.
