What to expect
Flat, easy cycling on well-maintained terrain. The path is straightforward to navigate with minimal gradient. Expect the surface typical of New Forest cycle tracks—firm gravel or hardstanding. You'll likely share the space with grazing animals (ponies, cattle, donkeys) that roam freely, so ride steadily and be prepared to slow or stop.
Good to know
- Dogs welcome (keep under control near livestock & wildlife)
- Open to cyclists
Dogs are welcome on open access, but keep them under control near livestock and avoid ground-nesting bird areas March to July. Gravel surfaces can be muddy after heavy rain—mountain-bike-style tyres are advised. There is no charge. A short ride like this works well as a warm-up or family outing.
