What to expect
A short, level asphalt path with minimal gradient. Easy underfoot in all conditions. You may encounter free-roaming New Forest ponies, cattle or donkeys grazing nearby. The route is open access, so expect other visitors, especially on fine days. Waymarking should be clear for such a short route.
Good to know
- Dogs welcome (keep under control near livestock & wildlife)
- Firm/surfaced — more accessible going
Dogs are permitted and can run freely on open access land, though keep them under control near livestock. No facilities or charge. Wear comfortable shoes; the asphalt suits any footwear. Too brief for provisions—combine with other walks in the area for a fuller outing.
