Join us for a long tranquil hike in the New Forest to experience ancient woodland, beautiful heathland, natural scenes and a chance to see many wild horses - and this hike is timed for the foal season! A living and working place where ponies, donkeys and cattle freely graze the land and help to keep the patchwork of different habitats intact. Deeper in the forest, wild deer stroll beneath canopies of mighty oak and beech - *to truly appriciate this hike and hopefully see some wildlife, it would be wondeful if we could all aim to have less chatter/noise whilst in the forest.* 🟠 **HIKE:** 📏 31km (19 miles) 🏔️ Elev.
