About this walk

This walk is on your left if you are coming from Beaulieu Village. It has a small gravel driveway leading up to an ample sized car park. This walk is pretty much a loop, which takes in a small forest area, a bridge with a stream (great for the dogs to cool off on a sunny day), and it has a small hill to climb, therefore I have not marked it as suitable for wheelchair access. This walk can get VERY boggy when the weather has been wet, which is fine, but you would need to be prepared. Wellies are a must! There is also a lot of cattle usually near to the low bridge. Never been trouble but worth bearing in mind if your dogs might be interested in them. At a moderate pace the walk takes roughly 40-60 minutes to complete and is usually relatively quiet.

Update 18/12/2024:
The footbridges on this walk have been removed as part of a wetland restoration programme https://www.hlsnewforest.org.uk/2024/10/15/penny-moor-wetland-restoration-update/ It is not suitable/passable as a circular route for walkers.

Fantastic walk for dogs to explore. Bridges over streams make great doggy diving boards!!! Dogs will get dirty during wet periods but will love u for it!!!

Also with this walk, there is a trainline that runs at the back of the far end of the walk. Its all properly fenced, and is quite far away from the main walking area, but you can go further into the forest area and you will come across a bridge taking you over the railway line. Like I said, all fenced in but just to be aware!

Great walk for my 1yr old pup whose recall around distractions ie other dogs is not great, so it was nice to be able to let him off lead for a proper run. Very very boggy in some parts but it's all part of the fun.
