The walks calendar page lists when the walks are on and will give the number of places left on each walk. This calendar also indicates when Nigel will be available for bespoke walks.
All year round the New Forest has something to delight in





See the New Forest at its seasonal best - pannage pigs, emerging leaves, bluebells in May and other seasonal delights. Walks will take place across the New Forest with start locations and routes chosen to explore the forest at its seasonal best.
During the autumn walk through and look at the changing leaves of the forest. The bare woodland in winter can provide a few delights and is often the most quiet and scenic time of the year of the year to enjoy the open heathland; you never know you may see some deer and stags through the more open forest. During spring and early summer the New Forest explodes into life offering chance to walk through beech woodlands full of bright green emerging leaves or get the first glimpse of the bluebells. Summer in the forest is a great time to enjoy the shade of the deeper woodland or walk the sandy heathland paths looking for reptiles and butterflies.
Shorter half day walks can be arranged for groups or families.

Walk information
Walks can be tailored to suit you. Walks are a great fun and active way to see the forest at its seasonal best.
Full joining details will be given a couple of weeks before the walk date. Walks always start from Forestry Commission car parks. Some of these have facilities but many do not - if you want to start and finish a bespoke walk at a pub, coffee shop or car park with a toilet then just ask.
