About Avon Tyrrell House

Standing on the edge of the New Forest near Christchurch, this Edwardian manor cuts quite the figure against the Hampshire heathland. Built in 1891 for Lord Manners, Avon Tyrrell House showcases classic Arts and Crafts architecture with its red brick facade and distinctive turrets that catch your eye from the forest tracks. The building now serves as an outdoor activity centre, so while you can't wander through grand drawing rooms, the exterior alone makes it worth a look if you're exploring the area. Architecture enthusiasts will appreciate the work of William Eden Nesfield, who designed this as one of his final projects. The house sits in particularly lovely grounds where ancient oaks frame the building beautifully - perfect for a photo or two. Families staying at nearby New Forest Centenary or Holmsley Campsite could easily incorporate this into a forest walk, though don't expect a full day out. Twenty minutes should do it unless you're settling in for a proper picnic on the grounds. The real draw here is how the manor sits so naturally in its forest setting, creating one of those properly English scenes that makes you reach for your camera. Best combined with exploring the wider New Forest rather than treated as a destination in its own right.
