Morebus’ New Forest Tour returns

Go-Ahead-owned Morebus is bringing back its New Forest Tour for the 2025 holiday season.

The open-top buses, which will run from Saturday 5 July until Sunday 14 September, offer a panoramic perspective on the area’s beautiful heathland, spectacular coast and picturesque villages.

Operated in partnership with the New Forest National Park Authority, the Tour welcomed almost 35,000 passengers last year, saving an estimated 200,000 private car miles. It also contributed an estimated £567,000 to the New Forest economy, according to Aynsley Clinton, sustainable visitor experience officer at New Forest Park Authority.

“It’s also a great way to see the area whilst using sustainable transport – helping to reduce congestion here” – Morebus general manager, Richard Wade

Morebus general manager, Richard Wade, said: “Our team is very much looking forward to transporting local people and visitors across this wonderful part of the country.

“Each of the three routes – red, green and blue – offers a unique perspective of the New Forest, with both countryside and coast to enjoy. The beauty is that one ticket allows people to hop on and off, and switch between routes, whenever they like.

“Whilst onboard, passengers can hear stories of the people, places and animals of the New Forest via our audio commentary – with characters, sounds and music bringing these incredible views to life.

“The New Forest is blessed with an array of attractions, eateries and other hidden gems – so there is plenty to enjoy for those using our one, two or five day tickets. It’s also a great way to see the area whilst using sustainable transport – helping to reduce congestion here.”
