Good to know

- Firm/surfaced — more accessible going
Dogs are welcome but should be kept under control near livestock and ground-nesting birds (sensitive March to July). Asphalt remains passable year-round, but the New Forest can be muddy elsewhere after rain. No facilities or parking details provided—check locally for nearby access points.
