The best cycling routes around Burton and Winkton

A beautiful, car-free route, most of the way back to Brockenhurst. It gets busy, so do remember it's a shared path.

The Bournemouth Big Wheel is a large Ferris wheel on the Bournemouth promenade. From the gondolas, visitors enjoy an impressive view of the coast, the beach, and the city. The attraction draws many tourists, especially during the summer months. The Ferris wheel offers a calm ride and excellent opportunities for photographing the surroundings. It is one of the city's best-known attractions and contributes to the lively atmosphere by the sea.

A nice place, less crowded than the one in Bournemouth.

Stand on Burley Moor and prepare for sensory overload! The view is a glorious, sweeping tapestry of purple heather, golden gorse, and dramatic, wide-open New Forest skies that stretch out forever. It feels wonderfully wild. As for the famous four-legged locals? Your chances of spotting a New Forest pony here are exceptionally high. They practically own the place! You will likely spot them casually munching on the gorse, completely unfazed by your presence. Just remember they are wild—so admire their majestic, fluffy-eared cuteness from a respectful distance!

If you’re hanging out in Christchurch, you’ve hit the jackpot for a "two-for-one" history fix. The Priory and the Castle Ruins are practically neighbors, separated only by a lovely little stretch of grass and some very photogenic streams. It’s the kind of place where you can spend an hour wandering through ruins and then step into one of the most massive, peaceful churches in England. This is the "rugged" part of the tour. Built in the late 11th century to keep an eye on the harbor, the castle isn't a massive fortress anymore, but what’s left is pretty evocative. The Constable’s House: This is actually the hidden star of the show. It’s a rare example of a Norman domestic house. Look for the old stone chimney—it’s one of the oldest in the country. It sits right on the edge of the Mill Stream, and it’s a great spot to watch the local ducks while imagining life in the 1100s. The Keep: You can still see the remains of the Great Tower sitting atop its "motte" (the big grassy mound). If you’re feeling energetic, you can walk up the path for a better view of the town, though the tower itself is mostly a "shell" these days. The Vibe: It’s totally free to wander through. On a sunny day, you’ll see people sitting on the grass nearby with ice creams. It’s history without the velvet ropes.

Nice wide pathways for a large section of this routes.

The "Fordingbridge Bridge," known as the Great Bridge, is a historic seven-arched medieval stone bridge in the town of Fordingbridge, Hampshire, England, over the River Avon. While the current structure dates from various periods, including significant 19th-century widening, the original medieval bridge was built before 1252. It remains a prominent landmark, with views of the bridge best enjoyed from the nearby park or The George pub.  

To explain the patronage of this place of worship, which is dedicated not to one person, but to the "Holy Trinity" – that is, God the Father, God the Son, and Holy Spirit; ONE God in THREE Persons – from the publisher's information for the book "GOD, YOU THREE" by Father Reinhard Körner: "For Father Reinhard Körner, the Trinity is... a living, tangible certainty. He takes the reader on a journey of discovery through his personal faith story: toward the one God in three Persons – toward God who is community. He finds this... Christian view of God in spiritual literature from the past and present, in art, and in theology. Living with the triune God can change one's own faith, one's way of praying, and one's coexistence with other people in the church, and ultimately in society as well. For a God who is in himself community, relationship, and love means hope for all people. A mystery worth rediscovering." (Source: https://www.borromedien.de/produkt-1994/gott_ihr_drei/11241557)
