What to expect
Level ground on open grassland, typical of New Forest lawns. The surface is likely to be firm grass underfoot, though it can be muddy or soft after rain. Waymarking should be clear given the short distance and easy gradient. Expect to see free-roaming ponies, cattle or donkeys grazing. The walk is straightforward with no steep sections.
Good to know

Dogs are allowed on this open access route but keep them under control near grazing livestock and away from ground-nesting birds during breeding season (March to July). Wear sturdy footwear in case of boggy patches after wet weather. There is no charge to use this route; it is free open access.
