What to expect
Level, straightforward walking on open access ground. Surfaces will be typical New Forest terrain — likely grassy or gravel underfoot. Minimal elevation change. You may encounter free-roaming ponies, cattle or donkeys, so keep dogs close. The route is unmarked but too short to cause confusion.
Good to know
- Dogs welcome (keep under control near livestock & wildlife)
Wear sturdy shoes; boggy patches may appear after rain despite the short distance. Dogs must be under control near livestock and kept away from ground-nesting birds between March and July. No facilities on-site. Best combined with other nearby routes for a longer outing.
