Walk Route Description
Dave and his dog, Logan, enjoy another New Forest walk. This circular route explores the area to the North of Beaulieu Road, Hampshire. The walk explores Matley Wood & Matley Ridge including the site of a WW1 Trench Mortar School, a War Dog Training Camp and the impressive Park Pale Embankment. As well as coming across some amazing fungi, I explain about the various types of Deer that can be found in the New Forest.

Further Information
New Forest Walking
The New Forest became a National Park in 2005, the first for many years and the first ever in South East England. Located between the urban areas of Southampton and Bournemouth it is bounded by the Solent. The National Park is dominated by open expanses of semi-natural vegetation including heathland, bogs, woodlands and streams. This environment is maintained through the grazing of thousands of New Forest ponies and cattle.
