New Forest Cycle Routes
Explore the New Forest on two wheels! Exploring by bike is the ideal way to discover the magnificent beauty and fascinating wildlife that can easily be missed by car.
The off-road and road-based New Forest cycle network offers something for all the family to enjoy.
The Forestry Commission provides over 100 miles of off-road waymarked cycle routes. Most of these routes are particularly suited to families with children and can also be used by people on mobility scooters. The routes are marked on the ground with wooden posts, each numbered.
The New Forest is a beautiful, tranquil and environmentally sensitive place enjoyed by local residents and visitors alike. Mutual respect and courtesy are essential to enable those with different interests to enjoy the Forest together.
This is a working forest, with forestry, farming and equestrian activity on its narrow roads and tracks. Ponies, cattle and other animals are free to roam the Forest and most of its roads. Be aware that animals are easily startled and may suddenly move into your path.
