What to expect
A brief, flat cycle on well-maintained asphalt. No gradient to speak of and no obstacles. Straightforward navigation over a short distance. You may encounter other path users, and the New Forest's free-roaming livestock (ponies, cattle, donkeys) can appear near open-access areas, so remain alert.
Good to know
- Dogs welcome (keep under control near livestock & wildlife)
- Open to cyclists
- Firm/surfaced — more accessible going
Dogs are welcome on open access. This is a very short stretch, so plan it as part of a longer ride rather than a destination in itself. Asphalt dries quickly, so mud is unlikely. Standard bike is suitable. No facilities or parking information provided; check locally for access points near Hythe.
