About this tour
Walk the New Forest's coastal strip with a naturalist who has spent two decades tracking its animal residents. This two-hour route traces the Hampshire shoreline where the landscape opens toward the Isle of Wight, offering genuine chances to spot the birds, mammals and plants that make this corner of the national park distinctive. Your guide reads the landscape like a book—pointing out signs of activity, behaviour patterns and seasonal shifts that casual visitors miss.

What to expect
Expect a steady walk along defined paths with regular stops to observe wildlife and listen to your guide's field notes on what lives here and why. Rather than a lecture, this is a collaborative look at how the coast functions—you'll learn to recognise species, track signs and understand seasonal patterns. The guide won't guarantee sightings (wildlife doesn't perform on schedule), but will position you where activity is most likely and explain what you're seeing. Bring binoculars, comfortable walking shoes and layers; the coast is exposed and weather-dependent.
