What to expect
Flat, easy underfoot terrain on open access New Forest ground. Short enough that gradient and waymarking are minimal concerns. You'll likely see grazing ponies, cattle or donkeys. Ground may be boggy after rain, so reasonable footwear is wise. Minimal climb or technical difficulty.

- Dogs welcome (keep under control near livestock & wildlife)
Dogs are allowed but should be kept under close control near grazing livestock and away from ground-nesting birds (March to July). No parking, facilities or charge. Wear sensible footwear as ground can be damp. Open access applies year-round.
