Grassy banks either side of the Avon Water river make a perfect spot for a picnic and paddle. You may encounter some of New Forest's local residents here, including wild ponies, deer, and an array of beautiful bird species.

Crossing the stream is not possible without wet feet! There is no transition so you have to go through the water to the other side. After that it is still quite wet. But otherwise beautiful route!

A great alternative place for a paddle and picnic to nearby Wootton Bridge that gets very busy in good weather. A walk is required to reach location but in itself filters out all but the most determined to reach this little slice of heaven in the forest! Great in any season, although seasonal tints make an autumn visit pretty stunning.
