There are miles of quiet lanes in the New Forest. Starting on a
dedicated cycle path right outside 'The Barn' you can enjoy a ride lasting from 10
minutes to a whole day (and still be back in time for a hearty meal before
collapsing into bed!) And don't forget if you arrive by bike we'll give
you a 10% discount on our normal B&B charges if your stay is for two nights
or more....

If you like road rides there's really no end to the variety available to
you. And the great thing is that most of the Forest is pretty
flat! You can go deep into the heart of the Forest or venture down to
the coast. We can give you routes and are very easily persuaded to
join you......
There are routed off-road trails too - starting within half a mile of 'The
Barn'. The routes are a reasonable length but the Rangers have limited
access across the Forest to protect its delicate habitat from erosion
If you want to go into Southampton there's a cycle route all the way
(about 5 miles) - though it's not as pretty as the Forest!
One of the common sights of the Forest - Donkeys grazing - March 2005.
