Hiking

A small, multi award winning community woodland project run entirely by volunteers with the aim of restoring the hazel coppice, woodland understorey and ride (track) network of Pondhead Inclosure, near Lyndhurst, in order to improve its biodiversity and enhance public enjoyment of this unique area of New Forest woodland.

It is particularly fine in the spring (bluebells) and late autumn (foliage).
