Walk Route Description

This is another New Forest Video walk with my Whippet, Logan. This route explores the area around the North & North West of the village of Ashurst. The circular route takes us into a number of woodland inclosures, taking advantage of well-made tracks with hard surfaces. The walk explores the site of Costicles Pond - an area that was once an impressive expanse of open water over 200 years ago but now sadly reverted to a bog. The route takes us past the old Underkeepers Lodge, and we come across a huge stack of Heather bales before crossing the Bartley Water twice.

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.
