リンドハーストでののおすすめライド

Bolton's Bench is a well-known landmark and natural knoll in the New Forest, located just outside Lyndhurst, named after an 18th-century Duke of Bolton. It features ancient yew trees at its summit and offers picturesque views over the village, heathlands, and surrounding landscapes. The site is popular for walks, dog walking, and picnics, and is home to free-roaming New Forest ponies and cattle. While the bench itself commemorates the Duke, a local legend also attributes the hill's formation to a battle with a dragon, with the yew trees growing from where the knight and his dogs fell.

Lovely road down towards Brockenhurst but was quite a bit of traffic on the summer midweek I rode it. Tarmac pretty good. Cattle grids as to be expected to rattle the fillings loose.

One of the more scenic inner roads of the new forest. Can be busy with other traffic so take care.

The carpark here can get really busy especially on weekends or holidays. If you're planning on driving here to start your ride make sure it's early to beat the parking madness

A nice route, two or three gates, cycle friendly, steady climbs, excellent ride

Do enjoy the Arbor magnificence

Well worth a visit to this quaint little forest town. Always a good place for a cafe stop and a shallow ford to cross on the way in/out of the high street. Or go past the ford on the Burley road and take the next turning on the left and left at the junction into the high street and cafes/ Tesco Express etc.
