What to expect
Flat, well-surfaced asphalt underfoot with no significant gradient. The path is straightforward and easy to follow. You'll encounter open access land typical of the New Forest, so expect to see grazing ponies, cattle or donkeys—keep your pace steady and predictable around livestock. The route is short, so it won't test endurance.
Good to know
- Dogs welcome (keep under control near livestock & wildlife)
- Open to cyclists
- Firm/surfaced — more accessible going
Dogs are welcome on open access, but keep them close to livestock and avoid ground-nesting birds March to July. The asphalt stays dry in most conditions, though inspect for any debris. No charge to use. Standard cycling shoes or trainers are fine. This is a quick local ride, not a destination in itself.
