This moderate 10.2-mile (16.4 km) hike connects the charming villages of Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst, offering a classic New Forest experience. You will gain 398 feet (121 metres) in elevation over an estimated 4 hours and 16 minutes. The route takes you through varied terrain, from well-kept gravel paths to sections that can be muddy after rain. You'll walk through beautiful New Forest woodland and open heathland, enjoying the tranquil Footpath Along the Stream. Keep an eye out for the famous free-roaming animals, including deer, as you explore.
You can start this loop from either Brockenhurst or Lyndhurst, as both villages offer convenient parking options. While the paths are generally easy to follow, it's a good idea to wear waterproof hiking shoes. Some sections can get quite muddy and have puddles, especially after wet weather. Be aware that parts of the trail are shared with cyclists, so stay alert and mindful of others on the path.
This route is a great way to experience the unique natural environment of New Forest National Park. The mix of ancient woodlands and open heathland provides a home for diverse wildlife. You might even find a section that feels like a "Jurassic Park" setting, particularly after heavy rainfall, adding a unique touch to your adventure. The trail highlights the special character of the New Forest, known for its ancient landscapes and wild ponies.
