A modern-day wood carving resembling the Bisterne Dragon, that supposedly expired and became Bolton’s Bench (another Komoot highlight!), just E of Lyndhurst, about a quarter of a mile distant.
A very accessible set of paths in the Bolton's Bench / White Moor area here. Lovely, long views in most directions from here. Only a few minutes away from Lyndhurst and lovely, comfortable tracks here... what's not to enjoy?
Owned by the Beaulieu Estate, the mill is one of a small number of relatively intact tide mills that survive in Britain. The dam is a haven for wildlife, with herons, egrets, kingfishers and oystercatchers regularly spotted here.
