The New Forest Lodge on the edge of the Cabo Vincentina National Park, an incredible, almost traffic free, natural reserve, a peninsular, enclosed by the sparkling Atlantic Ocean. We are about 20 minutes North from Lagos, an hour and half drive from Faro Airport and 3 hours from Lisbon. We usually encounter more horses and bikes than cars and our silence is only disturbed by bird song. Part of our charm is our isolation so when visiting us be sure you have comprehensive directions. Many friendly local villages and the quaint market town of Aljezur can be visited by our horses or carriage, but a car does increase your range. The beach is 6 kilometers on the map but a very long walk! The number of spectacular surfing beaches and cliff top paths makes our farm an ideal center to explore the Southwest tip of Europe. There is an infrequent local bus service that passes on the main road, some 20 minutes walk away. We offer a collection service from surrounding areas, just email us with the address and we can arrange a quote. Pleased to meet you, may we introduce our selves? We sailed into Lagos some 30 years ago and fell in love with this beautiful country, the wide open spaces and the friendly and welcoming people. Our plans to sail around the world were quickly shelved and we moved with our young children to the charming fishing village of Ferragudo, where we founded the Ferragudo School of Art. After a quarter of a century, it was time for us all to move to the hills, with our family and horses, to experience the space and tranquility of the Cabo Vincentina National Park. Here we set about restoring the New Forest Lodge, an abandoned and sadly neglected stone built hill farm. Over the past few years we have been busy restoring stables, barns and the ancient farm buildings, which now offer rustic but comfortable accommodation for our horses, guests and family.
