What to expect
Flat or gently rolling terrain on good asphalt, making this a straightforward walk with no steep gradients. Being open access land, you may encounter free-roaming New Forest ponies, cattle and donkeys. The route should be easy to follow, though waymarking may be minimal on such a short, well-used path.
Good to know
