New Forest - cycle routes and walking trail closures

Cycle routes and walking trail closures

Updated 9th January 2025

Disruption to walking and cycling routes

  • A section of the Highland Water cycle track, between posts 102 and 103, will be closed from 13 January 2025 for one week due to essential works.
  • Parkhill Inclosure is currently undergoing some tree harvesting work, please be mindful of any closure signage.
  • There is currently restricted access on the Wootton Coppice bridge. We're sorry for the inconvenience caused and we’ll try our best to get this work completed as soon as we can, but our budgets are limited. This is just one of the 284 bridges across the New Forest that we look after, and we spend thousands of pounds every year trying to keep on top of their ongoing maintenance.
  • A section of the Holmsley cycle track, between posts 160 and 161, will be closed from 2 January 2025 for eight weeks due to essential works.

Thank you for your understanding. We hope you continue to enjoy the rest of the forest while this work takes place.
