Abbots Well

Highlight • Historical Site

Abbots Well was formerly known as Alleynewell within the ancient boundaries of the New Forest when defined during the reign of King Edward I (1272-1307). This perpetual spring was, for centuries, the main watering place for travellers on the old road to Southampton. Theoretically the chamber on the left is for forest fauna and under the wooden flap on the right water intended for human consumption. I’m not sure I’d drink from it though - make your own mind up!!!

Ancient oak woodland at Holly Hatch

A lot of the New Forest is pine, but the parts that have the native Oak and Beach tress are often the most special.

Bluebell Path — Broomy Inclosure

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This pretty gravel section runs through Broomy Inclosure. Particularly, best visited in early spring, when a violet spread of bluebells provides a lovely backdrop.

Ford at New Forest National Park

Highlight • Bridge

Took a break at this stream and enjoyed the scenery. You need to cross the stream via a ford which I guess means getting a bit wet when it floods - no problem on the day I cycled over it.

Hockey's Farm Shop & Café
