What to expect
Level, easy-going terrain typical of New Forest open access. You may encounter grazing ponies, cattle or donkeys, so keep dogs under control. The path is short and clearly walked; waymarking is minimal but unnecessary given the brevity. Underfoot conditions vary with season and recent weather.
Good to know
- Dogs welcome (keep under control near livestock & wildlife)
Open access is free year-round. Keep dogs on a lead near livestock and away from ground-nesting birds (March to July). Wear comfortable shoes; muddy patches can appear after rain despite the short distance.
