Stubb Bridge
About this footpath
A short wooden footbridge crossing a stream in the open New Forest. This is a minor route rather than a destination walk—useful as a link between forest tracks or a brief stop to observe the woodland stream. Five minutes to cross and explore the immediate area. Easy walking on solid timber decking.
Highlights
- Wooden bridge over forest stream
- Open access woodland setting
- Quick break from longer routes
- Dogs welcome on open access land
What to expect
A straightforward timber crossing with no significant gradient. The bridge itself is level and well-defined. Surroundings are typical New Forest woodland and open heath. Underfoot conditions vary by season—muddy or boggy patches are likely after rain on approach tracks, but the bridge deck itself remains dry.
Good to know
- Dogs welcome (keep under control near livestock & wildlife)
This is a very short route; plan it as part of a longer walk rather than a destination. Dogs are welcome under open access rules but keep them close to livestock (ponies, cattle, donkeys) grazing nearby. Waterproof footwear recommended if conditions are wet.
