Cycling

There are more than 100 miles of Forestry Commission owned offroad tracks to explore, wildlife in abundance and plenty of sites of interest to visit.

This network of cycle routes which links the main villages, is constantly being expanded and improved and is shared with walkers and horseriders. It has been developed by Hampshire County Council and New Forest District Council.

All tracks are signposted and only vulnerable areas and those where forest work is taking place are barred to cyclists. Trails are well maintained and therefore open in the winter as well and most roads have a 40mph speed limit.

Cycle hire is easy if you don't have a bike with you you can hire a bike in Burley, Brockenhurst or Lyndhurst.
