Beautiful view across to West side of Isle of Wight and The Needles.

Super fast when dry

Great views and lovely lane

Brilliant cut through of the main road

Gateway into the New Forest from the South. Wootton Bridge is also a nice picnic spot next to shallow water. Also gateway onto the old railway gravel track leading to Castleman Trailway in Ringwood.

This peaceful road offers a welcome escape from the busy Lymington Road, with beautiful views over farm fields and the Solent, stretching towards the Isle of Wight.

Braggers Lane is a charming, tree-lined road bordered by grasslands and woodlands. At its northeastern end it opens up to beautiful views overlooking the grounds of Avon Tyrrell Outdoor Activity Centre.

Christchurch Castle is a Norman motte and bailey castle in Christchurch, Dorset, England. The earliest stonework has been dated to 1160. The castle's site is inside the old Saxon burh dominating the River Avon's lowest crossing.The castle is believed to stand on the site of an earlier wooden fort built in 924 following the capture of the town ramparts in 901 by King Æthelwold of Wessex, and subsequently fortified with a motte by King Edward the Elder.[2] After the Norman Conquest of 1066 the castle's defences were strengthened by the addition of a ditch and bailey surrounded by a wooden palisade. The wooden fort was eventually replaced with a stone keep. The Norman castle was a strategic defensive structure controlled by the King's constable until King Henry I granted it as the caput of a feudal barony to his cousin Richard de Redvers, feudal baron of Plympton, Devon. While the Saxon defences had been against outside threats such as Viking raiders, the Norman fortress was more concerned with subduing the local populace. It was also a useful base for enforcing the New Forest Laws. The castle controlled the harbour and inland access via the Rivers Avon and Stour. The earliest masonry has been dated to c. 1160, and there is documentary evidence of the castle existing in c. 1130. Richard de Redvers is often named as the castle's first builder, although there is little documentary evidence of this, and this castle may well have been on the site of the earlier Saxon castle. The castle was rebuilt by Baldwin de Redvers to resist King Stephen during the civil war with the Empress Matilda in 1147. A great tower was built probably around 1300. The castle again saw action during the Civil War of 1642–1651. The Parliamentarians were allowed to take control of the castle in 1644. The Royalists laid siege to it for 3 days, demolishing houses on the corner of Church Street and Castle Street in order to site their cannons. The Royalists were unable to take the castle and Oliver Cromwell, fearing such a powerful stronghold, ordered it to be slighted in 1652. The castle is now in ruins; a couple of the keep walls remain and the remains of a rectangular moat.

Road bridge over River Avon. Erected in the C15 or C16; repaired and strengthened over the centuries, including widening around 1900 and the erection of footbridge.

I can confirm, after several revisits that their sausages are still amazing. Their cafe is top notch, friendly staff, fast service, and a nice vibe with lots of place indoors and outdoors to sit. Hockey's Hungry Breakfast is a winner.

Old Iford bridge is grade 2 listed by English Heritage. The middle section of the bridge spanning the River Stour dates back to 1184. Officially half the bridge is in Bournemouth and the other half is in Christchurch. Better to get there early as the spot is popular for people feeding the ducks and families having picnics as well as people having impromptu sandwich breaks.

Great on a gravel bike.

These ride is excellent, great area to cycle in and mostly on quieter roads, though it was relatively early in the morning.

If the ford is flooded, you can use the road bridge 200m to the west to avoid it.

An awesome cafe stop and restock for bikepackers/tourers. Lots of drinks, snacks, foods, and a butchery. If I was set up to cook more than dehydated meals i would've had some of those amazing sausages. I will have figured out a solution to attach some local booze too!

This is one of a series of stones commissioned by Thomas Eyre to commemorate the peace brought by the Treaty of Amiens.

A smooth scenic section of road which crosses the Avon Water at Wootton Bridge. Here you can enjoy a peaceful picnic area next to the stream.

Burley is a charming village where ponies and cattle roam freely. You'll find traditional village stores, old pubs, quaint tearooms and even a cider farm. The village is centred around a stone War Memorial on a triangular junction and is famous for its history of witchcraft

Leave your bike parked up near the Beachcomber café and walk down to the beach, otherwise you'll sail past on the road and never see the cliffs properly. Good place for a paddle!

Remains of a mound top keep and a stone building known as the Norman house.
