Overview

Starting and finishing at Brockenhurst Station, the walk will include heath and woodland, using mainly cycle tracks but with some road walking and some paths which may be muddy.

Moderate in length, but will be done at a leisurely pace.

Walking boots required. Well behaved dogs with responsible owners welcome.

Bring a packed lunch for a stop half way round at Bolton's Bench, Lyndhurst.

Toilets at beginning, end and at Lyndhurst.
