About this walk

This is a there and back walk along the disused railway line from Burley to Holmsley Tea Rooms, in the old disused station. There are still a few remnants of the railway along the route.

The walk is mostly graveled but subject to quite a bit of waterlogging especially at the Burbush car park end, so wellies are a must except in the driest possible conditions. There are water courses too all along the route so dogs that stray from the path will get dirty!

Stunning walk through the New Forest to Hurley Tea Rooms and then back to Burbush. Just under 5 miles of stunning scenery and beautiful views.
