Walks in the New Forest

The New Forest National Park offers more than 140 miles of tracks and footpaths. You’ll find long distance routes, short walks, circular walks and easy to follow signed routes adventuring through ancient woodlands, through quaint pretty villages and across open moorland. 

Whilst walking in the New Forest you will come across hundreds of free-roaming cattle, pigs, deer, donkeys and the famous New Forest ponies. The forest is home to many country pubs and cafes perfect to stop and rest your legs whilst enjoying a bite to eat. 

The New Forest can be easily accessed with excellent transport connections, train lines and plenty of car parking. For those walking a longer distance you’ll find plenty of accommodation along the way which welcome walkers.
