What to expect
Flat, easy walking on dirt track with no notable gradient. The path is straightforward and well within reach of most abilities. You'll cross open access land typical of the New Forest fringe near Totton—expect patches of heathland and scattered trees. After heavy rain the track may be muddy in places. Minimal waymarking needed on such a short, obvious route.
Good to know
- Dogs welcome (keep under control near livestock & wildlife)
Keep dogs under control near any livestock (ponies, cattle, donkeys) that may graze the area. Ground-nesting birds are sensitive to disturbance March to July, so stay on the path. No charge or booking needed. Bring suitable footwear for muddy conditions after rain, though this short walk drains reasonably well.
