Places like this are why I always add on an extra hour to my adventures out. I can never just walk or ride through it. I have to stop, take in the beauty of the place, have some food, take a lot of pictures and before I know it, i've added so much more time on to my day. oh well 😁

Bolton's Bench

Highlight • Viewpoint

Bolton's Bench commemorates the 18th century New Forest Master Keeper, the Duke of Bolton. It's a great place to stop and take in the views from under the giant yew tree at the top, stretching from the spire of St. Michael’s & All Angels church in Lyndhurst out across open heathlands, White Moor, Matley Heath and towards the waterside village of Hythe.

Mill Dam, Beaulieu

Owned by the Beaulieu Estate, the mill is one of a small number of relatively intact tide mills that survive in Britain. The dam is a haven for wildlife, with herons, egrets, kingfishers and oystercatchers regularly spotted here.

Beaulieu Village and Motor Museum

Highlight • Monument

Beaulieu is an absolute gem of a village, located in the heart of the New Forest National Park.

There are plenty of lovely options to rest up and refuel (or pre-fuel if your tour starts here!)

It is well worth adding the world-famous Beaulieu Motor Museum to your itinerary. The museum is home to a grand collection of modern and vintage cars, including some that appeared on screen in major movies such as James Bond and Harry Potter.
