What to expect

You may encounter grazing livestock (ponies, cattle, donkeys) typical of New Forest open access land, so keep dogs under control.

This is a very short walk—five minutes at most—rather than a main route. Suitable for all footwear. Keep dogs close near livestock and avoid the area during ground-nesting bird season (March–July). No charge for access. After rain, expect boggy patches common to New Forest terrain.
