Overview

As the Autumn rains arrive the paths around Hampshire get muddier and muddier. This walk in the New Forest follows gravel cycle tracks and should be dry underfoot all the way round. We will walk through a mixture of coniferous and mixed woodland so will get to see lots of autumn colours and fungi. Seating will be provided for lunch break on suitable logs.

Bring refreshments for a mid-morning and lunch break.

The walk will start from the car park on Pignail Hill (free) near Brockenhurst. From the A337, coming south from Lyndhurst, take the B3055 to Beaulieu. the turning to the car park is on the left hand side as you leave the houses behind. The car park is quite small so please car share if possible and arrive in good time. There is also roadside parking on the B3055 just past the Pignail Hill turning.
