Awesome gravel trail section between Lyndhurst and the top of Rhinefield Road. Think classic New Forest gravel; wide, golden roads, gentle gradients and gorgeous views. Bliss!

The New Forest offers numerous gravel trails through forests, woodlands, and across open heathland, ideal for gravel cycling and bikepacking. These routes range from fast, smooth, and relatively flat paths to more challenging terrains with some rough and muddy sections, often connecting with quiet country lanes. You can expect to encounter wildlife like ponies, donkeys, and deer, and routes cater to all ages and abilities, with varying lengths and difficulty levels. GPS devices are recommended for navigation, and the area offers bike hire, campsites, pubs, and cafes for refreshments.
