Overview

Down through the woods to Lepe beach; along just above the water's edge; viewing the Solent and some D-Day embarkation sites, and back via Exbury Gardens. This is the New Forest, but not your usual terrain. Optional tea at Exbury Gardens at the end (open till 4).

Everyone is welcome. If you would like to join this walk, please notify the walk leader (Chris R 07718 252243) or email swrsundaywalks@gmail.com.

If you would like to car share, please let the walk leader know when you book and we will hopefully be able to facilitate this.

There will be two stops during the day for coffee and lunch (please bring a picnic)

Assistance dogs only.
