メルチェットパークアンドプレイトフォードでののおすすめグラベルライド

Best to get parked early at blackwater.

Another great lane to ride in the New Forest. It may be flat in the forest but if the wind is in your face, things can get tough.

It’s a great wide path with forest views.

Don't actually lean your bike up against the black post box. It is a monument not a bike post. There are plenty of trees nearby!

Very quick service as basic ploughman's with about a dozen options. Great food

The black post box is a Victorian relic and hidden in plain sight in the edge of the woods on the right as you enter the car park from the road. It even has a little sign in front of it now I notice. This is at the 15km or half way mark on the ride and conveniently next to the Royal Oak pub. Which is well worth a visit. Real forest pub with a lovely large garden and welcomes cyclists with a dedicated cycle park.

An amazing and very charming place that hides some secrets from the past..

gravel all the way
