What’s new?

  • The New Forest Reptile Centre has just opened again for the summer holidays, which also means children can venture into the forest on the Discovery Trail.

  • We popped down to Emsworth to do this linear walk from Emsworth to Langstone again. Only this time, we did it on a summer’s evening and we couldn’t recommend a better time to do it!

  • The instructions for this walk at Bolderwood in the New Forest are now more detailed with extra information added

  • We always want out guides to be as easy as possible to follow, so we have been to Selborne and updated our Zig-Zag path walk using easier to navigate pathways.

  • Did you know the car park at Hogmoor Inclosure is open until 9pm in summer? It was the perfect time to update our guide!

  • If the paddling area at Puttle’s Bridge gets a little busy on the Ober Water Trail, we have added a much less well-known paddling area just a short walk away.
