Question of the week: Could you recommend a weekend break destination in the UK? "Burley, in the South of England's New Forest, not only comes with a strong personal recommendation from me but also carries a personal link to my childhood. Having spent countless summer holidays in the area thanks to having immediate family in the area, Burley was a regular weekend visit for me at the end of a long bicycle ride from another side of the forest.
Burley's considerable history is fascinating; smugglers, highwaymen, witchcraft, ice cream... worth visiting if at least to see the village's attempt at giving local wildlife (in particular the wild ponies) 'all access' privileges, meaning they're legally allowed to wander into shops and do so regularly.
