Walking in Hampshire

Walking in the New Forest

The 'New Forest' is where you can explorer heathland, ancient woodland, wetlands and grassy plains. Many of the enclosure's have both deciduous and coniferous woodland to wander through on those hot summer days.

A number of self guided walks have been devised to help you explorer those hidden corners of the new National Park as well as the New forest area. You will find a number of guided walks throughout the year.

New Forest Ponies

Beware that commoner's ponies and cattle roam freely across the forest, which helps to manage the vegetation whilst they graze.

Please remember the Country Code at all times.
