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

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.

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

An actual quiet road compared to all the other roads around. Lovely riding

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

There are loos here with bike racks. Also a bike rack outside Rolys Fudge shop. Great coffee at Coffee and Drift and its always worth a wander up the cobbles to the wide selection of shops, pubs and cafes

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.

A major New Forest landmark, Bolton’s Bench is situated on the outskirts of Lyndhurst right in the centre of the New Forest. The Bench actually commemorates the 18th century New Forest Master Keeper, the Duke of Bolton, and it attracts many visitors who come to sit under the giant yew tree at the top and take in the views. Looking west from the top you will see the centre of Lyndhurst town, the skyline dominated by the classic spire of St. Michael’s & All Angels church. Looking east you will see a great view of the Open Forest heathlands stretching over White Moor, Matley Heath and further towards the waterside village of Hythe.
