Embark on the Ringwood & Burley loop from Brockenhurst, a moderate road cycling route that takes you through the diverse landscapes of the New Forest National Park. You will cover 42.7 miles (68.6 km) with an elevation gain of 1568 feet (478 metres), typically completed in about 2 hours and 54 minutes. As you cycle, you will encounter vast expanses of rolling open heathland, where you might spot grazing ponies, and pass through charming villages like Burley, known for its traditional stores and tearooms. A highlight is the Rhinefield Ornamental Drive, lined with impressive Douglas firs and giant sequoias, offering scenic viewpoints along the way.
To begin your ride, Brockenhurst provides convenient parking options and is accessible via public transport, making it an ideal starting point. While the route primarily follows well-paved surfaces, be aware that some sections might include very small unpaved portions. You could also encounter a ford crossing, which might mean getting your feet wet if the water levels are high. Plan your visit during dry weather to fully enjoy the experience without unexpected detours.
This route offers a rewarding cycling experience for those seeking a good fitness challenge amidst stunning natural beauty. The New Forest is renowned for its unique ecosystem, blending ancient woodlands with open heathlands, providing a habitat for diverse wildlife. The trail's path through this protected landscape allows you to immerse yourself in the tranquil atmosphere and appreciate the region's distinctive character, making it a notable journey for any road cyclist.
