Hiking
The River Avon is well known for its water meadows and this particular stretch south from Ringwood is beautiful. The Avon Valley Path runs through the meadows which are typically dry in the warmer months and alive with wildflowers, birds and butterflies. In the winter or after periods of significant rain, this path and the meadows can flood.
There are sluice gates here to control the water flow and give an intriguing insight into the water management of this historic area.
