Itinerary

Short journey in a comfortable train takes us from busy London to peaceful New Forest. Quickly we will grab our bikes and hurray for the forest adventure! And don´t forget your cameras to catch all that amazing wildlife.

The New Forest

People who live here will tell you that The New Forest is a lively, working landscape with many secrets to discover. The only way to reveal The New Forest’s hidden gems and truly appreciate the sights, sounds and smells of the forest is to get out there and explore. On the bike.

The forest is a place where ponies and cattle freely graze the land and help to keep the patchwork of different habitats intact. Deeper in the forest, wild deer browse beneath canopies of mighty oak and beech – natural scenes unchanged by the modern world.

The New Forest is also famous for its great selections of pubs and restaurants, cafés and cream tea gardens. And definitely, in the middle of our bike journey, we will stop in of them to try some of the local fresh specialities.
And by doing so we will actually be helping the forest to stay special by supporting local farmers and producers. Great!

And that´s not all. On our way we will also have a break in a small village Burley famous for its production of great cider. One or two bottles are not so heavy, so why not surprise your friends back home :)

Amazing nature, superb food, new friends. Simply great day!
