Walkers can go directly from the cottage across the forest lawn into the broad-leaved and coniferous woodlands or beyond on to National Trust Commons. The New Forest offers mile after mile of walking on gravelled tracks or out on to open heather covered heaths and forest grazed by thousands of ponies, cattle, donkeys and deer. There are plenty of pubs and tea rooms en route, or many guests simply enjoy a quiet picnic by a sparkling New Forest stream.

The New Forest is perfect for short stroll or for a longer hike for the more experienced walker.
