Walk Description:

From the Potting Shed cafe at Hyde a circular walk across Hyde common with it's fantastic views across the plain towards Hasley hill inclosure and in the other direction to the Purbecks on a clear day.

We pass near to Abbotts well a perpetual spring.

Down to Ogdens and across the bridge at Latchmore brook then round to Woodford Bottom.

Onto a wide trail beside Dockens Water, passing several properties, before heading across to open heathland climbing back up and over Ibsley Common then down into woods before the final hill back to Hyde.

Parking is at the back of the Potting Shed cafe.

Food stops being served at 2 45pm. Toilets inside cafe. I will book a table for everyone. The food and cakes are delicious. Excellent coffee.

The walk is around 2.5 hours and 5.5 to 6 miles long. It is a walk on gravel/sandy paths along with wide forest trails. Three short hills. A very open walk which can be breezy and also muddy in places.

Allow plenty of time to drive in the New Forest as there are a lot of ponies and donkeys who take no notice of traffic.
