New Forest Cycle Network
 

Exploring this truly anceint Forest by bicycle is the ideal way to discover the magnificent beauty and fascinating wildlife that can easily 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. You can access the cycle network direct from Wilverley Plain car park.

How to get there:

New Forest Cycle Network can be started from Wilverley Plain in New Forest. Between Brockenhurst and Burley is the nearest town or village.

By car: Wilverley Plain is located half way between Burley and Brockenhurst on the Burley Road.
