What to expect
Flat or gently undulating ground underfoot, probably a mix of grass and possibly light gravel or earth. Minimal gradient. The route should be straightforward to follow across open New Forest terrain. Watch for grazing ponies, cattle or donkeys; they're typically unbothered by walkers but give them space. After rain, patches may be boggy.
