New Forest walk | Hampshire
A winter's walk in The New Forest. We get lost on boggy ground but manage to find our way around! Starting at Whitefield Moor car park we head across the field to Aldridge hill woods. Walking eastwards. We come out of the woods onto boggy Fletcher Green. Head north until we found a track.
The tracks comes out on Rhinefield rd , opposite Rhinefield house. Walk 100 yard on the rd then turn right. Follow the edge of Clumber inclosure. Then follow the track south to Holm hill. Turn eastwards and follow the track til it comes onto Rhinefield rd near car park.
This walk is like a figure 8.

New Forest Animals
It's here in Hampshire's New Forest that animals roam free inside the Forest boundary. This clip was taken at Brockenhurst, itself inside the boundary, where the minor road, unfenced, past the village meets the main road to Lyndhurst that is fenced off and has a cattle grid to keep animals inside the boundary. Here the donkeys and ponies have young foals in July. They have no road-sense, so drivers need to stop or slow down.
Blackwater Arboretum walk, New Forest, Hampshire, 23 July 2018.
Early evening on our 29C day, video commenced at 18.21 so temperature was about 23C. We're on a stroll in Blackwater Arboretum, named after minor stream Black Water (today, completely dry) bridged by the Rhinefield Ornamental Drive. This marked out walk is just NW of that bridge. The carpark with bench seat tables and toilets is nearby. Using a New Forest National Park webpage (will provide the link), we're walking a small section of the Tall Trees Trail & which evidently continues along both sides of the Drive. Area contains various exotic trees but is dominated by redwoods (sequoa) and Douglas Fir, natives to northern California, and Oregon & Washington states respectively. Just south of this walk is Rhinefield House Hotel, originally a wealthy businessman's mansion, built in mid-1850s. The National Parks webpage states that most of the trees date from 1859, hence up to 160 years old by 2018. At some date (in 20th century) the Ornamental Drive and this immediate woodland became publicly owned and viewable. The hotel and grounds plus 3 nearby fenced-off woodlands (enclosures but OS maps spell as inclosures) are privately owned. 248MB. 3.05.
