Don't actually lean your bike up against the black post box. It is a monument not a bike post. There are plenty of trees nearby!

The black post box is a Victorian relic and hidden in plain sight in the edge of the woods on the right as you enter the car park from the road. It even has a little sign in front of it now I notice. This is at the 15km or half way mark on the ride and conveniently next to the Royal Oak pub. Which is well worth a visit. Real forest pub with a lovely large garden and welcomes cyclists with a dedicated cycle park.

Lovely little community cafe in village hall with superb coffee and cake. Only open on a Tuesday between 10 and 1230 but we were lucky and they opened early for us!!

Despite the seemingly unpromising name, "Nomansland" is a fine village along the boundaries of the Hampshire and Wiltshire county borders. Nowadays this runs along this road in front of the Lamb Inn. Local legend has it that the border formerly ran through the pub itself and as closing time was earlier in Hampshire, there was a quick move into the Wiltshire bar to get extra drinking time at the end of the evening! New Forest ponies also visit for refreshment and can be found grazing on the green alongside the road.
