New Forest Cycle Network


(Average user rating: unrated unrated)

Exploring this truly ancient Forest by bicycle is the ideal way to discover the magnificent beauty and fascinating wildlife that can be missed by car.

To help protect this unique environment and improve visitor enjoyment an off-road and road-based cycle network has been created. The network links the main New Forest villages with the railway station at Brockenhurst, by the safest and most attractive routes.

From Bolderwood you can cycle along the main linking routes to Burley, 5 miles away, or Minstead 4 miles away. Alternatively, why not explore the network of over 100 miles of waymarked routes.
