What to expect
Level asphalt underfoot all the way. The path crosses typical New Forest terrain of open heathland and grazed lawns. You may encounter free-roaming ponies, cattle and donkeys, so keep dogs under control and don't approach the animals. Clear waymarking guides you; no steep climbs or boggy patches to manage.
Good to know
- Dogs welcome (keep under control near livestock & wildlife)
- Firm/surfaced — more accessible going
No facilities or charges apply — it's free, open-access walking. Keep dogs on a lead or under close control around livestock and ground-nesting birds (Mar–Jul). Standard walking shoes are fine given the asphalt surface. A straightforward route needing no special preparation.
