Overview

This free Introductory/Taster Walk for Non-Members is aimed mainly at semi-retired, retired, and younger aged people.

A leisurely 5.4miles / 8.7km ramble through the New Forest, with a short break half way round (bring a light snack and drink). The walk is mainly on well-defined tracks and covers a range of habitats: open areas, sheltered sections and woodland. The walk is mostly flat with some gentle inclines/declines. It’s a walk that anyone interested in natural history should enjoy. Dogs welcome on a short leash.
