What to expect
Gentle grass surface throughout with no elevation change. The route crosses open New Forest terrain where ponies, cattle and donkeys may graze freely, so keep an eye out for livestock. Waymarking is minimal on such a short path; stick to the obvious grassy way. In wet weather, muddy patches are likely.
Good to know
- Dogs welcome (keep under control near livestock & wildlife)
Dogs are welcome on this open-access land but should be kept under control near grazing animals and away from ground-nesting birds (March to July). The route is free and open year-round. Wear appropriate footwear for potentially wet grass, especially after rain.
