The wooded reaches of Godshill Inclosure manage to be both a popular place to walk and a peaceful haven for wanderers. First enclosed in 1810, remnants of the original oak and beechwoods still exist, now interspersed with other, later planted broadleaves such as sweet chestnut, and edged with Scots pine and larch.

Cycling

Fabulous views of the Avon Valley including the meandering River Avon which reaches the English Channel at Christchurch Harbour and flows north through the city of Salisbury. This spot, just off a quiet road makes an excellent picnic stop with its bench and stunning view.
