A beautiful walk in the heart of the New Forest, taking in some of the variety of the area. Can be done in half a day, but more likely a little longer to give ample excuse for a cafe stop at the end.

Hi Razouski, sorry to hear that! Walk estimates are not an exact science, I'm afraid, but hopefully you enjoyed the walk all the same.

This started out as a lovely route, but we were expecting to walk between 13 and 14 km. However I had my gps mapping app on and it measured the walk at more than 17km. As a result we struggled on the last lap.
