Shatterford and Denny Wood
This walk takes in both the heathland and the woodland of the the New Forest as well as wildlife rich marshland and pools.
Bolderwood Deer Sanctury
Follow the Radnor Trail through varied woodland from ancient deciduous to Norway spruce to Bratley Water where children can splash in the stream. The walk ends at a viewing platform, where if you are lucky, you will see a herd of fallow deer. A great choice for the autumn.
Puttles Bridge
This has to be one of the very best family walks in The New Forest. It is flat, short, signposted and has two paddling locations, picnicking spots, an ice-cream van, ponies and toilets. It can be busy in the summer, but pop on your wellies and have it to yourself in winter.
Beacon Hill
You cannot miss this walk if you are a fan of Downton Abbey as the view from the top of this iron age hill fort has views to Highclere Castle. These have to be the most far reaching views we have found in Hampshire, and you can enjoy them in every direction.
River Hamble Country Park
The walk may only be forty-five minutes, but you will spend a whole day here as there is so much to do in this riverside country park that even has its own farm!
Fleet Pond
The largest freshwater lake in Hampshire is set within a variety of landscapes from heathland to woodland to marshland.
