Bolton's Bench is a well-known natural knoll and landmark situated on the edge of Lyndhurst, the "capital" of the New Forest. A prominent ancient yew tree grows at the top of the hill, which is surrounded by grassy lawns where the New Forest's famous ponies, donkeys, and cattle often graze freely. According to a medieval tale, a dragon that terrorized the nearby village of Bisterne was slain on the site by a knight named Sir Maurice de Berkeley. The dragon's body supposedly became the hill, and the ancient yew trees grew where the knight and his hounds later died.

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

there is a purpose built platform which overlooks a large meadow. The platform is just a short walk from the car park. This is a great place if you're looking to get some great photo opportunities of the natural surroundings of the New Forest as well as the wildlife that surrounds the area. There is also information panels giving you more information about the deer found in the New Forest.

Sorry I really don't like the Rodger Penny Way, as a local I try not to ride it anymore.. I'd go through Woodgreen, Lover, Passed Hampworth Golf Course, No Mans Land... much quieter roads... On the way back most of my routes go into Ringwood... and through the forest from there (I live near Lyndhurst)

Nothing lives in this place. Legend from commoners ( habitants of the new forest ), tell of the death of a young boy here in the early 1800's. His family buried him here and within days the woods around his body decayed and died. Birds won't even sit on the branches. it's a very eerie place.

Always check to forecast for the New Forest. Even days after a rainfall, the ground can stay flooded for long periods of time. Tracks can be washed away and even streams over them. Make sure you have the correct equipment to tackle these problems.

The New Forest has the most extensive area of heathland remaining in Europe (over 10,000ha – the equivalent of 14,000 football pitches). Drier areas are dominated by heather, with bracken and gorse and a very rich lichen flora.
